Research on Neuromuscular Function, Recovery and Physiological Adaptation

Dear Colleagues,

Understanding the mechanisms that underpin neuromuscular function, how they are altered with exercise and subsequent recovery, is key to understanding the potential for adaptation. A large body of evidence exists within the sports science literature, showing how neuromuscular function is modulated following many different exercise modes. Commonly, non-invasive methods of stimulation are used to quantify such effects. Furthermore, depending on the type of exercise performed, neuromuscular function can require several days to recover. As such, an interesting avenue for research is to investigate the ability of different recovery strategies to enhance neuromuscular function in the days following exercise. It is also of importance to understand the potential change in neuromuscular function that underpins adaptation to different exercise modes and training stimuli. Accordingly, this Special Issue welcomes submissions that will add to the existing body of literature seeking to understand neuromuscular function, recovery, and adaptation.

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.
