Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human physical activities are increasingly pushed to the limit in extreme environments, such as in the high mountains, in the depths of the sea, or in sports, both at a professional and amateur level.
The analysis and evaluation of biophysical responses in people who face severe conditions and efforts require complex and often multidisciplinary theoretical and practical skills.
The rapid development of biotechnological, computer, and engineering sciences and the increasingly sophisticated applications are greatly affecting research in this field. Consequently, the approach of monitoring human physical activities is changing significantly, also fostering the appearance of new professional figures with non-traditional skills.
In particular, the effective analysis of biometric parameters now requires big data approaches, capable of exploiting intelligent computational models that deal with multimedia information obtained from different types of sensors, often in real-time, for evaluating performance, adaptive planning, rehabilitation, prevention, or simulation.
This Special Issue, titled "Intelligent Sensors for Monitoring Physical Activities", intends to explore the scientific–technological frontier that underlies the optimal solution of the abovementioned problems, while, at the same time, involving the development and use of innovative sensors and smart methods for the interpretation of data and scenarios.
The main topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- biological signals and sensors;
- computational intelligence;
- digital signals and images processing;
- human physiology;
- machine learning;
- motion analysis;
- multimedia data analysis;
- neurological disorders;
- physical activities;
- positioning and depth sensors, sports, rural and mountain areas activities, and 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. 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
