Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Active lengthening of muscle tissue and the unique physiological and biomechanical properties of eccentric contractions have sparked a growing interest in the scientific community. Research investigating eccentric muscle action has existed for decades, but many questions still remain, ranging from a molecular perspective to the practical application of these concepts in sports performance and clinical rehabilitation.
There is a need for a more comprehensive understanding of how fundamental aspects of eccentric contractions and eccentric exercise contribute to short- and long-term adaptive processes. Existing research has advanced the field’s understanding of elastic muscle properties, injury prevention and rehabilitation, and resistance training strategies while simultaneously furthering the need for scientific evidence in these areas. Of special interest is the implementation of these findings in the context of athletic preparation and health. As a testament to the level of interest in the field, the Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology has decided to run a second edition of this Special Issue concerning eccentric exercise and its various applications in both experimental and practical environments.
This issue welcomes authors to submit original research and literature reviews investigating eccentric exercise and its role in health and performance.

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. Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
