Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Regular exercise is important for enhancing athletic performance and overall health, significantly reducing the risk of chronic diseases, and promoting longevity. Advances in technology and in the understanding of exercise physiology and biomechanics have enabled the emergence of more refined exercise interventions. For example, knowledge behind mechanical variables such as movement velocity are key to optimizing training prescriptions and fitness assessments. Given this background, this Special Issue aims to explore the integration of mechanical and neuromuscular variables to enhance exercise interventions and testing protocols.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- The impact of exercise interventions on physical fitness and health-related indicators.- The role of mechanical variables (e.g., velocity, acceleration) and neuromuscular variables (e.g., EMG) in optimizing exercise prescriptions and testing protocols.
- The reliability, validity, and sensitivity of physical fitness tests and measurement tools.
- Technological advancements in monitoring, assessing, and testing exercise-related variables.
- Case studies highlighting successful applications of exercise interventions and testing methods in clinical populations.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Amador García Ramos

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.
