Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The objective of this Special Issue for the journal Applied Sciences is to explore and disseminate innovative research and advanced practices in the field of sports biomechanics and injury prevention. It seeks to provide a Special Issue for researchers, health professionals, coaches, and athletes to share knowledge and strategies that improve sports performance and reduce the risk of injury. This Special Issue focuses on the application of biomechanical principles to develop effective training, assessment, and rehabilitation methods aimed at academic performance and injury prevention in motion analysis, preventive interventions, technology and tools, rehabilitation, risk factors, biomechanics, and educational approaches to injury prevention.
