Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Exercise physiology and performance analysis represent dynamic and complementary fields that provide crucial insights into the mechanisms underlying human adaptation to physical training and competition. Advances in physiological monitoring, biomechanical modeling, and data analytics have allowed researchers and practitioners to better understand the complex interactions between internal load, external stimuli, and performance outcomes.
This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality research that explores acute and chronic physiological responses to exercise, innovative methods of performance assessment, and practical applications for optimizing training strategies across different populations and sport contexts. By integrating multidisciplinary perspectives—from molecular physiology to applied performance analytics—this Special Issue seeks to bridge the gap between science and practice, offering novel evidence to enhance health, performance, and recovery in athletes and physically active individuals.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
