Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Combat sports and martial arts are increasingly becoming an object of interest for researchers due to their growing popularity and spectacular form of competition, which attracts many spectators. Analyzing competitors facilitates the assessment of training progression, indication of a decrease in form and appropriate adjustments to training load. Scientific research makes it possible to visualize the detailed reactions of the body that occur during a sports fight. This Special Issue aims to deepen our analysis of athletes practicing martial arts and sports. Our mission is to broadly present the complex structure of a duel and the body’s reactions that occur during a fight. We encourage you to submit papers related to the analysis of combat and athletes practicing martial arts and sports.
