Aims & Scope

Biomedical Human Kinetics is one of the leading Central European journals dealing with health-related exercise sciences. The journal is a forum for researchers from many countries all over the world for presenting research results of international importance. Our articles follow the international debate on current issues of physical activity. The leading idea is the health-directed quality of life. The journal thus covers many biomedical areas related to physical activity, e.g. physiology, biochemistry, biomechanics, anthropology, medical issues associated with physical activities, physical and motor development, psychological and sociological issues associated with physical activities, rehabilitation, health-related sport issues and fitness, etc.
