Journal of Sports Science and Human Performance

About the Journal

Journal of Sports Science and Human Performance is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes research on physical performance, exercise science, athletic training, and the physiological and psychological factors that influence movement and fitness. The journal serves researchers, sports scientists, coaches, rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapists, and professionals working in human performance optimization across recreational, elite, and clinical settings.

The journal focuses on the scientific foundations of physical performance, drawing from multiple disciplines including biomechanics, physiology, kinesiology, motor learning, sports medicine, and exercise psychology. It encourages studies that analyze how physical activity, training programs, and performance techniques affect health, strength, endurance, skill development, and injury prevention.

Articles may explore individual or population-level outcomes in sports training, rehabilitation, adapted physical activity, or health promotion. The journal also supports evidence-based interventions aimed at improving physical function in athletic, ageing, or clinical populations.

Areas of interest include strength and conditioning, endurance training, neuromuscular performance, flexibility and mobility, sport-specific skill acquisition, psychological readiness, fatigue and recovery, and injury risk assessment. Submissions may involve performance testing protocols, program design analysis, physiological monitoring, or studies of sports equipment and technology that affect athletic outcomes.

The journal also welcomes research on nutritional strategies, hydration, supplementation, and other factors that support training adaptation, body composition management, and competitive performance. Manuscripts that evaluate biomechanics, posture, energy systems, and the impact of training environments are equally encouraged.

Journal of Sports Science and Human Performance is committed to highlighting applied and translational research that can inform real-world practice. It supports interdisciplinary collaboration across sports medicine, physical therapy, strength coaching, public health, and exercise education.

Studies involving laboratory or field-based testing, randomized controlled trials, observational data, or longitudinal monitoring are all suitable for submission. The journal provides a forum for both quantitative and qualitative research that addresses the diverse ways in which human movement and physical capacity are studied, supported, and enhanced.

All accepted articles are published open access, ensuring that scientific findings and performance strategies are freely accessible to professionals, educators, and researchers around the world.

Whether your work investigates biomechanical efficiency in elite athletes, evaluates injury risk during adolescent training, explores motivation in exercise adherence, or measures physiological adaptations to endurance conditioning, this journal offers a specialized platform to share your findings with the broader human performance community.
