INTRODUCTION
Aims and Scope
The purpose of the journal - Sports Medicine and Health Science (SMHS) is to provide a scientific merit-based and high-quality publication platform for all relevant biomedical studies worldwide with the primary focus on sports medicine, physical activity, and exercise-related health sciences. The primary disciplines covered by this Journal - SMHS include, but not limited to: Clinical Sports Medicine, Orthopedics, Preventive Medicine, Rehabilitation Medicine, Physical Therapy; Basic and Translational Sports Sciences including Exercise Physiology, Exercise Biochemistry, Exercise Molecular Biology and Exercise Immunology; Biomechanics; Motor Control and Exercise Neuroscience; Exercise Epidemiology, Gerontology, and Nutrition; and Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Other emphasized topics of interests for this Journal (SMHS) are:
1) Prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports injuries in muscles, ligaments, joints, and bones, especially those occurred in elite, professional, or Olympic athletes as well as amateur participants in sports.
2) Prevention and treatment of chronic disease caused by lack of physical activity or improper practice of exercise. SMHS welcomes contributions on studies employing exercise intervention on metabolic, cardiopulmonary and neuromuscular disorders as well as mental health. Health issues among elderly population would receive special editorial attention.
3) Basic biological research emphasizing cellular mechanisms of exercise effect and consequence of lack of physical activity in the fields of molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, immunology, neuroscience, and nutritional science.
4) Epidemiology and population research on the effect of physical activity and exercise on health-threatening epidemics due to lack of physical activity on chronic diseases, such as but not limited to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and Alzheimer disease.
5) Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), such as acupuncture and traditional sports (such as Tai-Chi and Qigong) in prevention and treatment of sports injury and other chronic diseases in major vital organs, such as obesity, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, stroke and heart attack.

Authors should complete the declaration of competing interest statement using this template and upload to the submission system at the Attach/Upload Files step. Note: Please do not convert the .docx template to another file type. Author signatures are not required. If there are no interests to declare, please choose the first option in the template. More information.
Submission statement
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere including electronically in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the copyright-holder.
Changes to authorship
This policy concerns the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names in the authorship of accepted manuscripts:
Before the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue: Requests to add or remove an author, or to rearrange the author names, must be sent to the Journal Manager from the corresponding author of the accepted manuscript and must include: (a) the reason the name should be added or removed, or the author names rearranged and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, fax, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed. Requests that are not sent by the corresponding author will be forwarded by the Journal Manager to the corresponding author, who must follow the procedure as described above. Note that: (1) Journal Managers will inform the Journal Editors of any such requests and (2) publication of the accepted manuscript in an online issue is suspended until authorship has been agreed.
After the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue: Any requests to add, delete, or rearrange author names in an article published in an online issue will follow the same policies as noted above and result in a corrigendum.
Copyright
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a 'Journal Publishing Agreement'. Acceptance of the agreement will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
