Dynamic Insights: Unveiling the Biomechanics of Sport through Motion Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

The biomechanical analysis of motion in sports is of paramount importance to stakeholders in the field. The resulting improvement in performance and athlete development serve as strong, measurable indicators of the outcomes achievable with sports motion analysis. This Special Issue, entitled "Dynamic Insights: Unveiling the Biomechanics of Sport through Motion Analysis", located in the Biomechanics and Sports Medicine Section of the MDPI journal Bioengineering, is now open for submissions that address the functional movements made in sports.

The analysis of human movement will be a key element of successful submissions, which we hope will include motion assessments of sport-related activities, including sports rehabilitation and injury prevention. We also welcome applications of novel biomechanical approaches, including techniques and technologies such as video analysis, 3D motion capture systems, wearable technologies, infrared imaging, and medical imaging. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

Advanced Motion Capture Techniques: high-precision and more detailed biomechanical analysis using markerless systems and high-speed cameras.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: the application of algorithms to analyse large datasets.

Advancements in Wearable Technology: the application of real-time biomechanical data monitoring that is designed to provide immediate feedback to athletes and coaches.

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality: the creation of immersive environments to aid in the analysis of biomechanics and athlete training.

Biofeedback Systems for Performance Enhancement: assisting athletes with making real-time adjustments to improve their performance.

Remote Biomechanics Monitoring: remote assessment and the feedback to athletes during training.

Biomechanics in E-sports: the recognition and evaluation of the physical movement and strain associated with professional gaming.

Integration with Sports Equipment: continued sensor monitoring and data acquisition from instrumented sports equipment during actual play. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed research methods that are applied to the gaps in these research areas are encouraged.

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. Bioengineering 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 2700 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.
