The primary objective of Sport Biosciences (SBio) is to advance and disseminate high-quality, innovative, and rigorous research that expands the fundamental and practical understanding of physiological responses, adaptations, and mechanisms related to physical exercise and human movement. The journal seeks to serve as a premier scholarly platform for exercise scientists, clinical researchers, sports educators, and medical practitioners to share empirical evidence and theoretical insights. By publishing cutting-edge studies, the journal aims to influence both academic theory and practical interventions, ultimately enhancing athletic performance, public health, and human well-being.
The thematic scope of the journal encompasses a comprehensive range of topics within both fundamental and applied exercise physiology. SBio specifically encourages the submission of manuscripts exploring the biological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms of physical activity, metabolic and cellular adaptations to training, and the systemic effects of exercise on human health. Key areas of focus include fundamental and applied exercise physiology, exercise and aging, exercise and metabolic diseases, exercise and various types of cancers, exercise in relation to inflammatory and immune system responses, and exercise and neurodegenerative disorders.
In addition to clinical and mechanistic health studies, the journal places a strong emphasis on the optimization of human performance and holistic wellness through evidence-based practices. This includes research on exercise and performance enhancement, sports nutrition, metabolic control, and weight management strategies, alongside other relevant topics in the bioscience of sports. SBio values interdisciplinary studies that bridge exercise physiology with related fields such as genetics, biochemistry, and clinical medicine to provide comprehensive solutions to contemporary challenges in sports science.
The journal welcomes diverse methodological approaches, prioritizing robust fundamental, applied, and developmental research designs, as well as systematic reviews. All submissions must demonstrate clinical or practical relevance, methodological rigor, and explicit implications for the broader field of sports medicine and exercise science. Through its open-access model, SBio aims to foster international scientific collaboration, elevate the global visibility of regional research, and remain a reliable academic resource for researchers, educators, laboratories, research institutes, and policymakers worldwide.
SBio welcomes original research, developmental studies, and comprehensive reviews covering the following areas:
