Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of sensors and data analytics in the field of biomechanics and dynamic physiology has proven to be a transformative field of research and real-life application that has revealed new ways of understanding human movement and performance. This discipline combines engineering and biology to create interactive relationships that change how we perceive and optimize physical activity.
Sensors, from accelerometers to gyroscopes, electromyography, machine vision and advanced wearable devices, act as vigilant observers, capturing intricate details of biomechanical processes during physical exertion. Through a data analysis perspective, patterns and anomalies are revealed in these data, allowing researchers and practitioners to understand the subtle nuances of movement, dynamics and posture.
This mixture of sensors and data analytics can be applied in a variety of fields, from sports performance enhancement to rehabilitation strategies. Athletes can benefit from real-time feedback, tuning their machines based on accurate biomechanical insights. Physical therapists can provide targeted interventions tailored to individual needs and optimize recovery strategies.
Specifically, the topic of sensors and data analytics in biomechanics and physical activity is an issue of power, where technology becomes an indispensable ally in unlocking the complexities of human movement, providing a new era of accuracy, performance and well-being outcomes.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
