Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The purpose of this Topic is to specify the principles of mathematics, functional anatomy, and mechanics to explore and understand biological problems in sports performance. This can discriminate between parameters research, permitting the optimization of human behavior. This Topic aims to summarize the most important parameters influencing human performance in health sciences across all age groups throughout their lives. Studies that promote the latest research in biomechanics, health, quality of life improvement, and sport rehabilitation are welcome. In addition, the aim of this Topic is to prevent functional decline and frailty by adopting a life course perspective approach. This is leveraged through using the latest research on movement mechanics and sports performance, targeting all stages of life for prevention, performance improvement, and the management of sports diseases. Modeling, simulation, quantification, and computing the musculoskeletal system allow for quantifying and improving discriminate parameters that characterize movement in different contexts, such as sports, work, and daily life. The aim is to effectively combine and coordinate research and results to better understand and improve human movement across various fields, including life, medicine, sports, and work.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
