About this Research Topic
Biomechanics and Motor Control are two interacting scientific areas which allow understanding and optimization of human movement. Be it research, sport or clinical applications, progress in these two areas has contributed to new concepts and practices in performance enhancement and injury management. As scientific information in these two areas is generated and added to the existing pool of knowledge at fast rates, experts have an obligation to discuss and debate new developments and identify challenges and opportunities. This continuous cycle of new evidence and its appraisal by the biomechanics scientific community ensures the integrity of the discipline itself and its impact on society.
Frontiers in Sport and Active Living recognizes the importance of facilitating debate and discussion amongst the Biomechanics and Motor Control community, and so has organized a series of Research Topics, offering a platform for such discussion to occur.
This Research Topic entitled 'Debates in Biomechanics and Motor Control' aims to highlight themes that foster debate and discussion in the community on biomechanics and motor control. We encourage authors to submit recommendations, debates or perspective pieces that focus on the wider biomechanics and motor control areas and applications (e.g. research, athletic or clinical application) and either discuss or create debate that will enhance these areas. We also welcome original research and review articles that can clearly identify the point that is being debated either through the manuscript or with an explicit Contribution to the debate section.
Some example topics might include but are not limited to:
• Performance enhancement
• Injury prevention / rehabilitation
• Measurement or data analysis techniques
• Technological advancements, product innovations, and issues
• Sex differences and recommendations
• Application of Biomechanics in the wider society
• ‘Point / counterpoint’ exchanges (by editorial invitation)

Debates in Physical Activity in the Prevention and Management of Diseases 2022
Debates in Sport and Exercise Nutrition 2022
Debates in Elite Sports and Performance Enhancement 2022
