Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, the application and development of various types of intelligent sensors in sports, health, and medicine are one of the most interesting and active research topics. Smart sensors play a significant role in assessing various health, medical, and sports indicators. Motion analysis using cameras, depth sensors, IMU sensors, or EMG technology is effectively used to evaluate human movement in many areas of life. In professional sports, intelligent sensors have revolutionized the training process. Examples include sensors with built-in GPS modules to monitor the player’s locomotor intensity during a match or training. Based on sensor data, individual training units are optimized. Another important aspect of using smart sensors is the direct assessment of physical activity. Using accelerometers, it is possible to objectively assess and monitor the intensity of physical activity levels among children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. That information is essential to deliver the most effective exercise training programs according to the people's needs. Various types of sensors can also be used to diagnose disease entities, e.g. motion capture systems can be used to assess diseases of the musculoskeletal system. We welcome for submission of high-quality publications of researchers who work on applications and development of various types of sensors for sports, health, and medicine. More precisely, the relevant topics for this special issue include (but are not limited to):
- Human motion analysis
- Sensors in biomechanics
- Assessing physical fitness and physical activities
- Sensors in athletic training
- Sensors in kinesiology
- Sensors in sleep analysis
- Sensors in strength and conditioning
- Human pose estimation
- Multi-person pose estimation
- Sport players tracking
- Action and gesture recognition
- Gait recognition
- Human fall detection

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
