Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
The way athletes perform and behave in complex environments, as well as the underlying cognitive control, is inherently complex, dynamic, multidimensional and highly nonlinear.
Wearable technology enables one to directly capture massive amounts of data on sports performance in ecologic (i.e., discipline- or sport-specific) conditions. The challenge is therefore to provide stakeholders (practitioners, sport scientists, coaches) with meaningful information out of this wealth of information: machine learning and artificial intelligence are a compelling choice to embrace this complexity.
This collection of articles features applications of data science to extract performance and functional information from wearable sensors within a sport and/or athletic environment. Examples are devices for physiological monitoring (heart rate and its variability, temperature, oxygen saturation), for force, motion and/or positional tracking (GPS, inertial sensors, load cells). Innovative and custom solutions are also addressed: this Special Issue features a topical viewpoint on innovative ideas, current landscapes, and new trends on the horizon.

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.
