Theme: Measuring behavior in sport and exercise

Guest Editors: Tom Allen* (t.allen <at> mmu.ac.uk, Manchester Metropolitan University), Robyn Grant (Manchester Metropolitan University), Jonathan Shepherd (Griffith University)

Sports Engineering and equipment development is ultimately linked to the measurement of behavior. Whether it is how the equipment interacts with the human body, or how the player perceives the equipment, these aspects are key to equipment design and uptake.

Researchers developing methodological protocols in measuring behavior are invited to submit manuscripts to the Sports Engineering journal, describing original research, review papers or perspective articles.

Topics:

Development of new technologies, software or measurement devices
Novel methods to measure equipment-player interactions
Novel methods to measure human or animal performance, movement and data
Sports and fitness data integration
Human perception of equipment
