Performance optimization is distinctly multidisciplinary. Optimized training concepts and the use of state-of-the-art technologies are crucial for improving performance. However, sports performance enhancement is in constant conflict with the protection of athletes’ health. Notwithstanding the known positive effects of physical activity on health, the prevention and management of sports injuries remain major challenges to be addressed. Accordingly, this Special Issue on "Sports Performance and Health" consists of 17 original research papers, one review paper, and one commentary, and covers a wide range of topics related to fatigue, movement asymmetries, optimization of sports performance by training, technique, and/or tactics enhancements, prevention and management of sports injuries, optimization of sports equipment to increase performance and/or decrease the risk of injury, and innovations for sports performance, health, and load monitoring. As this Special Issue offers several new insights and multidisciplinary perspectives on sports performance and health, readers from around the world who work in these areas are expected to benefit from this Special Issue collection.Medicinebicsscsymmetryasymmetryfootforcebalancepostural stabilitystandinghurdlingbiomechanicshurdle clearancetechnique analysiscollar heightkinematicskineticsdynamic stabilityankle injuryrange of motionbasketball shootingproprioceptionankle spraintapingsoccerbasketballpreventionmusculoskeletal disorderspersonalized treatmentmeasurementhealthy athletesjump performancesmartphonesMy Jump 2reliabilityvaliditytraining environmentsportsathletesinterval trainingbiological emotional evaluationsports sciencesmuscle activationselectromyographyslope walkingbackpack loadsnicotinamide adenine dinucleotidetrainingmitochondriontable tennisracketracket sportsperformance analysisgame-actionsstrokesmorphologyisokineticsprintsvertical jump performancehandball shootingagilitystrengthpowerinter-limb asymmetryglobal navigation satellite systemGPSIMUinertial motion capturepressure insolesski racingalpine skiingathletes' healthepidemiologyspinemusculoskeletal injuriesskiing simulationoptical motion capturetensiometerski waist-widthknee injurywristelbowshotaccuracyRFD-SFbadmintonknee jointinjuryone-dimensional statistical parametric mappingeccentricalpine ski racingstrength trainingsupramaximal loadsathlete safetyMedicineSupej Matejedt1328680Spörri JörgedtSupej MatejothSpörri JörgothBOOK9910557568103321Sports Performance and Health3038817UNINA
