Sports Engineering - Forthcoming Topical Collection: Wearable Sensor Technology in Sports Monitoring

Guest Editors:
Dr. Hugo G. Espinosa, Griffith University, Australia
Dr. Aimee Mears, Loughborough University, UK
Prof. Andy Stamm, Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, Germany
Prof. Yuji Ohgi, Keio University, Japan
Ms. Christine Coniglio, East Tennessee State University, USA

Description
Wearable sensor technologies are being used in sports to monitor and measure athlete workloads during matches, in-game performance, injury prevention and recovery. Such technologies provide coaches, trainers, and players with accurate biometrics including motion, orientation, impact and heart rate. This Topical Collection is dedicated to recent advances in research and development in wearable sensor technology with emphasis on inertial measurement units (IMUs), textile-based, flex, pressure and strain sensors, among others.

Researchers involved in wearable sensor technology are invited to submit research articles, technical notes or reviews. All papers must fit the Aims and Scope (this opens in a new tab) of the journal. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • IMU design, development and implementation
  • Sensor fusion
  • Algorithm development and validation
  • Technology development and enhancement
  • Reliability and validation of sensors
  • Sports classification using machine learning 
  • GPS tracking
  • Real-time feedback
  • Athlete performance and data analytics
  • Computational modelling and simulation
  • Training load evaluation
  • Injury prevention and recovery


Submission guidelines
All papers must be prepared in accordance with the Instructions for Authors at: https://www.springer.com/journal/12283/submission-guidelines (this opens in a new tab). Authors should submit through the online submission site (this opens in a new tab)and select article type “TC - Wearable Sensor Technology in Sports Monitoring". 

Please indicate your intention to submit a paper to this Topical Collection with an email to the Guest Editors. Please include a tentative title and indicate the type of paper (original research, review, technical note). 

Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to one of the topics of the Topical Collection. All submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation, by at least two independent reviewers. It is the policy of the journal that no submission, or substantially overlapping submission, be published or be under review at another journal or conference at any time during the review process. Final decisions on all papers are made by the Editor-in-Chief.

Authors are encouraged to read the recent editorial “How to write a manuscript for Sports Engineering (this opens in a new tab)”.
