Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on analyzing biomarkers and their physiological roles in human performance in exercise, sports, and health. Recent research has identified biomarkers that can be used to assess athletic performance, monitor health statuses, and prevent injuries during exercise and training. Additionally, biomarker analysis in sports offers valuable insights into an athlete's nutritional and physiological statuses.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include exercise physiology, bioenergetics, biology, human locomotion, performance analysis, sports sciences, and training optimization. We encourage contributions that adopt an integrated approach to biomarker analysis, providing strategies for personalized health and performance optimization across various high-performance samples and genders.
We welcome submissions utilizing diverse methodologies, such as randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, longitudinal studies, and narrative reviews authored by experts in their fields.
