Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue of Sensors dedicated to 'Sensors in Sports' aims to explore the latest advancements, challenges, and applications of sensor technology in the realm of sports. Sensors have revolutionized the way athletes approach training, competition, and performance tracking, offering valuable insights into biomechanics, physiology, and technique. This unique edition seeks to compile original research and review articles focusing on recent progressions, technologies, solutions, applications, and emerging challenges in the field of sports where sensors play a crucial role.
Potential topics for submission include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Wearable sensor technologies for monitoring athlete performance;
- Biomechanical analysis using motion sensors and inertial measurement units (IMUs);
- Sensor-based approaches for injury prevention and rehabilitation in sports;
- Smart textiles and wearable electronics for athlete monitoring and feedback;
- Sensor systems for real-time tracking and analysis of sports movements;
- Integration of sensor data with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) for sports training;
- Wireless sensor networks and applications of the Internet of Things (IoT) in sports;
- Sensor-driven techniques for sports biomechanics research and optimizing performance;
- Biofeedback systems and sensor-based coaching tools for athletes;
- Remote monitoring and telemedicine applications in sports medicine;
- Ethical considerations and privacy issues surrounding sensor-based sports analytics;
- Case studies and practical implementations of sensor technology across various sports disciplines.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
