Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human movement is somehow complex and adaptive considering the degree of the external stimulus. The large spectrum of sport sciences and medicine requires the definition of tools that can expand our ability to non-invasively obtain accurate information and redefine movement patterns. Biomedical engineering and biomechanics are key disciplines that contribute with the most suitable or reliable methods for regular assessments and help uncover sports injuries, enhance performance or promote healthy habits throughout life. Those are key disciplines that serve the daily practice of sport physicians, coaches and other health-related professionals, and help in defining training loads or exercise prescription, if appropriate. For this Special Issue, we encourage authors to contribute their most recent findings using cutting-edge technology in sports monitoring and health promotion across biomedical engineering and biomechanical areas. Specific topics of interests for this Special Issue include (but are not limited to):
- Biomedical engineering;
- Sports biomechanics;
- Sports engineering;
- Valid and reliable methodologies for testing and analysis;
- Wearable devices and sensors for biomechanical analysis;
- Effects in health- and performance-related parameters;
- Monitoring physical activity and exercise;
- Biomechanical diagnostics in rehabilitation.

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.
