Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of novel technologies in recent years has opened up a whole field of unique possibilities in the healthcare sector, but also in sport for both performance assessment and injury prevention. Interestingly, there are possible transfers between the applications intended for the evaluation of performance in sports (i.e., speed-based, explosivity and forces) and those realized in the therapeutic framework (i.e., smoothness and quality of the motion). Therefore, we decided to focus on both aspects in this Special Issue in an attempt to reduce the gap between the two fields and to foster a translation.
There is a wide range of technologies available, from low-cost/low-tech devices such as smartwatches and smartphone-based applications to high-tech devices such as robotics devices or multisensor systems. All of these technologies offer different possibilities both in terms of assessment and in terms of use (e.g., supervised assessment during specific tasks, continuous assessment during activities of daily living, etc.).
This Special Issue aims to cover a wide range of topics surrounding rehabilitation and physical and sport activities, including novel sensor technologies for the assessment of the quality and quantity of motion during both rehabilitation and sport activities, the application prospects of sensors in exercise and sport activities and novel algorithmic approaches to derive, analyze and recognize exercise and rehabilitation activity sensor data. This Special Issue intends to be inter- and multidisciplinary in order to evaluate the different aspects of this exciting and rapidly expanding field.

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.
