Sports Engineering

Aims & Scope

Sports Engineering publishes papers on the application of engineering to sport and is the journal of the International Sports Engineering Association (ISEA).

The journal is primarily interested in original contributions which concern the effect of equipment on athlete performance and safety.

Using both experimental and theoretical approaches, areas of interest include: mechanics; dynamics; aerodynamics; fluid dynamics; instrumentation; sports surfaces; materials; biomechanics (related to the interaction with equipment) and safety.

The journal serves as a forum where research, industry and the sports sector exchange expertise, knowledge and innovative ideas.
