Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
An increasing number of lightweight and wearable sensors (“wearables”) are being developed or are already commercially available for monitoring physiological, biomechanical or ambient data. Innovations are mainly in sensor technology, data algorithms (especially machine learning), and content- and application-related interpretation. The application of wearable sensors (e.g., using biofeedback) is thought to improve understanding of adaptation to exercise, (elite) performance, cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity, and other health-related aspects.
The reliability and validity of provided data is often questionable, and further evidence is needed to prove the anticipated benefits of data monitoring and guidance with wearable sensor technology.
To improve the field of wearables for exercise, health, and performance applications, this Special Issue aims to publish manuscripts which:
- Identify new sensors and algorithms (especially machine learning) in the field of exercise, health and performance applications;
- Validate existing sensors and algorithms;
- Correlate and/or interpret data with respect to exercise, health and/ or performance specific applications;
- Evaluate effects of using wearable sensor technologies in the context of exercise, health and performance applications.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
