Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The human movement system relies heavily on motor control, which is essential for motor performance. Motor control is based on continuous interactions between the individual, the task, and the environment. The study of human movement from a biomechanical perspective is inseparable from the processes involved in controlling movement.
This Special Issue is dedicated to highlighting current research that enhances our comprehension of biomechanics and motor control in human movements. We welcome all forms of studies, including both traditional and innovative analyses, encompassing linear and non-linear measures, and embracing all perspectives that contribute to elucidating various aspects of human movement.
This Special Issue seeks the submission of high-quality, original research papers in the fields of biomechanics and motor control related to the analysis of healthy and impaired movements, sports, and occupational activities. We invite researchers and experts to contribute their methods and findings to deepen our understanding of human movement and to introduce innovative approaches in this field.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
