About the Journal

The Journal of Sports Medicine Research (JSMR) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research that advances the understanding, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries and conditions. The journal serves as a platform for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals to share the latest findings in sports medicine, exercise science, and athletic performance.

We welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, case reports, and clinical studies in the following areas:

  • Sports Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation – Injury mechanisms, risk assessment, rehabilitation protocols, and return-to-play guidelines.
  • Exercise Physiology and Performance Optimization – Cardiovascular endurance, muscle physiology, strength training, and conditioning.
  • Biomechanics and Kinesiology – Movement analysis, gait studies, and injury biomechanics.
  • Orthopedic Sports Medicine – Surgical and non-surgical interventions for musculoskeletal injuries, regenerative medicine, and joint health.
  • Sports Nutrition and Metabolism – Nutritional strategies, hydration, ergogenic aids, and metabolic adaptations in athletes.
  • Concussion and Neurological Health in Sports – Brain injuries, neurocognitive function, and concussion management.
  • Sports Psychology and Mental Health – Psychological resilience, performance anxiety, and mental well-being in athletes.
  • Doping and Anti-Doping Research – Performance-enhancing substances, drug testing, and ethical considerations in sports.
  • Physical Activity and Public Health – The role of exercise in chronic disease prevention, aging, and overall well-being.
  • Adaptive and Paralympic Sports Medicine – Injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance optimization in para-athletes.

The Journal of Sports Medicine Research is committed to promoting evidence-based practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovations that enhance athlete health, performance, and longevity. We ensure a rigorous peer-review process, rapid dissemination of findings, and global accessibility to researchers and practitioners in the field.
