International Journal of Sports Science

International Journal of Sports Science aims to facilitate and enhance communication across all sub-disciplines of the sport sciences. The emphasis of the journal is on the human sciences, broadly defined, applied to sport and exercise. Manuscripts dealing with original investigations of exercise, validation of technological innovations in sport or comprehensive reviews of topics relevant to the scientific study of sport will be considered for publication.
