About the Journal
Description
Al-Muthanna Journal of Physical Education Sciences is a specialized, biannual journal published by the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Al-Muthanna University, releasing two issues annually. The inaugural issue was published in early 2012. The journal aims to disseminate scientific knowledge and advance the sports sector through rigorous scientific research. All submissions undergo a meticulous peer-review process by specialized experts prior to publication.
Journal Scope
Journal Scope
Physical Activity, Health, and Exercise
Submitted articles should focus on the public health impacts of physical activity. Papers may stem from multidisciplinary scientific approaches, including population studies, randomized trials, and systematic reviews, and must provide a clear rationale for the research. In addition, results with practical implications are preferred.
Physiology and Nutritional Sciences
The Physiology and Nutrition section publishes original research with strong conceptual foundations in the following scientific inquiry areas: physiology of physical activity, nutrition, molecular and cellular biology, genetics, epigenetics, and body science.
Sport Psychology and Exercise Practice
This section publishes original research in the field of sport psychology and exercise practice, including related areas such as motor control and motor learning, movement behavior, and expert performance. Studies should include clear theoretical and applied details, with preference given to those extending beyond sport and exercise contexts.
Injury Rehabilitation and Disabled Sports
This section includes articles that fall within the broad research areas of sports medicine and sports biomechanics. We particularly welcome studies on injuries, treatment processes, and clinical studies in sports medicine, sports biomechanics, neuromuscular kinesiology, movement science modeling, and sports technology based on large-scale human data. Research in kinesiology related to strength, fitness, gait studies, and posture in major fields is also encouraged. Studies using experimental research designs are preferred.
Sports Performance and Motor Behavior
The Sports Performance section publishes original research that highlights the measurement of one or more aspects of athletic performance. We particularly invite submissions from sub-specialties such as performance analysis and training, and interdisciplinary areas like talent identification. Research involving interventions, performance and training modeling, or modeling methodologies and measurements is especially welcome. Please note that studies focusing on participants in sports activities and primarily centered on physiology, without incorporating measurements of sports performance, should be submitted to the Physiology and Nutrition section.
