Engineering Solutions for Sports Performance and Recovery

Dear Colleagues,

The increasing availability and sophistication of technological tools for assessing and improving physical performance and recovery have revolutionized both athletic training and general health monitoring.

The focus of this Special Issue is to explore a wide range of technologies and methodologies that enhance our understanding of human physiology and biomechanics. These innovations not only aid in injury prevention, but also play a critical role in optimizing recovery strategies and improving overall physical performance. By fostering an interdisciplinary approach, this collection aims to bridge the gap between engineering, sports science, and clinical practice.

Potential topics include the use of wearable devices for real-time data collection, robotic systems for assisted rehabilitation, and biomechanical modeling for performance analysis. Furthermore, contributions addressing the integration of these technologies in both professional sports settings and everyday health monitoring will be of particular interest. Submissions that discuss the development and validation of new methodologies, comparative studies between different tools, or multi-modal approaches that combine several technologies are also highly encouraged.

This Special Issue will provide a platform for researchers, clinicians, and engineers to share innovative findings, propose new solutions, and explore future trends in the field of sports and rehabilitation. The ultimate goal is to foster collaboration and contribute to the development of practical, evidence-based interventions that enhance physical health and performance across diverse populations. The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Innovative tools for physiological and muscular assessment.
• Wearable technologies for real-time monitoring and analysis.
• Robotic and biomechanical applications in functional rehabilitation.
• Integrated methods for training optimization and recovery.
• Interdisciplinary approaches to physical performance enhancement.

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.
