The Journal of Human Kinetics is an open access interdisciplinary periodical offering the latest research in the science of human movement studies. This comprehensive professional journal follows the principles of a double-blind peer review process and features articles and research notes encompassing such topic areas as: Kinesiology, Exercise Physiology and Sports Medicine, Sports and Physical Activity, as well as Psychological and Sociological Aspects of Sport and Exercise, yet especially considering elite and competitive aspects of sport. The journal publishes research papers, reviews, case studies, short communications, letters to the editors and editorials. Most importantly, manuscripts submitted to the journal must contain novel data on theoretical or experimental research or on practical applications in the field of sport sciences. The regular issues of Journal of Human Kinetics are published in January, April, July, and October, yet we accept proposals of special issues or specific topics. We encourage scientists from around the world to submit their papers to our Journal.
