The Mechanics of Movement: Biomechanics in Sports Performance

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.
