Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the physiological mechanisms underlying human performance in exercise, health, and sports. Topics of interest include exercise physiology, bioenergetics, human locomotion, thermal physiology, performance analysis, and training optimization. We welcome contributions featuring various methodologies, including randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, case reports, integrated and longitudinal approaches, and narrative reviews authored by experts in the field. Advancements in digital and wearable technologies—such as smart textiles, biomarkers, and electrochemical sensors—are of particular interest, as they offer insights into monitoring training load, pacing strategies, and performance outcomes. We encourage submissions that address gender diversity and include high-performance samples/volunteers across genders. Additionally, we seek contributions that adopt an integrated approach to providing holistic solutions to complex problems within exercise physiology—join us in advancing our collective understanding of exercise performance and human physiology as we strive to optimize health and athletic achievement.

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. Sports 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 1800 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.
