Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of personalized medicine into sports medicine is driving a paradigm shift toward individualized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies tailored to each athlete’s unique genetic, biomechanical, metabolic, and psychosocial characteristics. This Special Issue of the Journal of Personalized Medicine, titled "Personalized Diagnosis and Treatment in Sports Medicine", seeks to present cutting-edge research and clinical advances that leverage precision medicine to optimize injury prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and performance outcomes.
Emerging technologies—including genomics, proteomics, advanced imaging modalities, motion capture systems, and wearable biosensors—are enabling clinicians and researchers to generate highly detailed athlete profiles. These data, when combined with machine learning and predictive modeling, facilitate early detection of injury risk, stratification of treatment responses, and the design of customized rehabilitation and return-to-play protocols.
We invite contributions that explore innovative diagnostic biomarkers, individualized therapeutic interventions, patient-specific modeling, and digital health solutions. Submissions may address acute or chronic musculoskeletal conditions, neuro-muscular adaptations, recovery monitoring, and performance optimization strategies, particularly when grounded in mechanistic understanding and translational application.
This Special Issue aims to advance the field by promoting interdisciplinary collaboration across orthopedics, sports medicine, physical therapy, biomedical engineering, and computational sciences, contributing to the development of evidence-based, athlete-specific clinical pathways.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
