Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Technological advancements, including motion capture, electromyography, inertial measurement units, and force plates, have significantly enhanced our ability to capture variables associated with the laws of physics that govern movement during sports-related activities. Furthermore, these physical variables can be simulated for prediction and/or modeled with a proper artificial intelligence (AI) system, leading to enhanced performance or improved foul detection during sports activities and events. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we aim to collect relevant theories, methods, mathematical models, simulations, and clinical results that advance our understanding of biomechanical systems in the form of original research articles, review articles, short articles, and opinions applied in the fields of biomechanics and sports medicine.
We welcome contributions from biomedical engineers, biomechanists, sports scientists, neuroscientists, physical therapists, and other practitioners.
The major topics of interest for this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Biomedical signal processing;
- Biomechanics and sports medicine;
- Motor control and motor learning;
- Artificial intelligence and bioinformatics;
- Biomedical signal and image processing;
- Biomechanical modeling and simulation;
- Motion and data capture;
- Electromyography;
- EMG-driven models;
- Muscle synergies.

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.
