Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The editors are grateful to the many researchers who contributed to the success of the first volume of this Special Issue (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/life/special_issues/22327H4OE3). We are very pleased to announce the second volume of our Special Issue, “Advances and Applications of Sport Physiology: 2nd Edition”.
Modern sport, including the field of sport and exercise physiology, has progressed in many ways thanks to the development of science. The analysis of physiological parameters in the background of sports training and competition has ensured advanced and optimal training systems that have brought athletes' capacities to exceptional limits.
Knowledge in the fields of sport diagnostics, the effects of training on athletes’ bodies, fatigue, stress, recovery, and many other aspects of sport physiology is crucial for athletes’ development, improving their performance and reducing injuries. This knowledge is applied by athletes, coaches, sport practitioners, and medical professionals.
The aim of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality, multi-disciplinary studies related to the following topics:
- Diagnostics in sport;
- Biochemical markers in sport;
- Load monitoring;
- Sport injuries—risk factors, prevention, and diagnosis;
- Training effects;
- Physiological sport demands;
- Performance analysis.
We invite authors to submit original scientific research or systematic reviews for the further development of sports physiology. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field.
