About the Journal

Journal of Osteology and Sports Sciences is a prestigious international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research at the intersection of osteology (the study of bones) and sports sciences. By bridging osteological and sports science disciplines, the journal addresses critical gaps in understanding how musculoskeletal health, biomechanics, and exercise physiology influence athletic performance, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. It serves as a vital platform for clinicians, researchers, sports scientists, physiotherapists, and orthopedic specialists to share cutting-edge findings, innovative methodologies, and evidence-based practices.

The journal emphasizes translational research—moving from laboratory discoveries to real-world applications in sports medicine, rehabilitation, and performance optimization. It also promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, encouraging submissions that integrate osteology with fields such as biomechanics, sports nutrition, psychology, and technology-driven sports science.

The journal welcomes original research articles, reviews, case studies, and technical reports across the following thematic areas:

Osteology in Sports

  • Bone health and metabolism in athletes
  • Stress fractures, osteoarthritis, and other sports-related bone injuries
  • Imaging techniques (e.g., MRI, DXA) for assessing bone quality in athletes
  • Biomechanical analysis of bone-loading patterns during exercise

Sports Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation

  • Epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in different sports
  • Novel rehabilitation protocols for osteological injuries (e.g., tendinopathy, ligament tears)
  • Role of exercise, nutrition, and biomechanics in injury recovery

Performance Optimization and Biomechanics

  • Kinanthropometry and its application in talent identification
  • Movement analysis and gait studies in elite athletes
  • Wearable technology and AI-driven tools for performance monitoring

Sports Medicine and Health

  • Exercise physiology and metabolic responses in athletes
  • Sports nutrition and its impact on bone density and muscle function
  • Psychological aspects of injury recovery and athletic resilience

Interdisciplinary Perspectives

  • Traditional Chinese medicine and osteopathy in sports rehabilitation
  • Anti-doping research and ethical considerations in sports science
  • Global trends in sports medicine and osteology (e.g., reviews on emerging technologies)
