Aims & Scope

The International Journal of Strength and Conditioning (IJSC) serves as a global platform for disseminating high-quality research and practical insights in the field of strength and conditioning. The journal is dedicated to advancing knowledge, fostering innovation, and bridging the gap between scientific research and practical application. Its aims and scope include: Primary Objectives Promote Excellence in Strength and Conditioning Research : Publish original research, reviews, and case studies that contribute to the understanding and practice of strength and conditioning. Foster Practical Application : Highlight research with direct applicability to the training and performance of athletes, recreational populations, and clinical groups. Encourage Interdisciplinary Collaboration : Accept submissions that intersect with related fields, such as biomechanics, exercise physiology, sports psychology, and rehabilitation. Support Evidence-Based Practices : Provide practitioners with actionable insights grounded in rigorous scientific methodology. Scope of the Journal The journal welcomes submissions in the following areas, among others: Strength and power development Athletic performance enhancement Injury prevention and rehabilitation Exercise testing and monitoring Training methodologies and periodization Biomechanical and physiological analyses Psychological strategies for performance Special populations (e.g., youth, elderly, clinical) The journal is principally focused on human performance, strength and conditioning, and applied sport and exercise science. Research involving non-human animal models is not a routine part of the journal’s remit, but may be considered in exceptional circumstances where clearly and directly relevant. Global Perspective The journal encourages submissions from researchers and practitioners worldwide to ensure diverse perspectives and promote the global development of the strength and conditioning field. Readership The IJSC caters to a wide audience, including: Researchers and academics in sports science Strength and conditioning coaches Athletic trainers and physical therapists Sports psychologists Educators and students in related disciplines
