SPRINT – Sports Research International is an open-access journal – published by Akadémiai Kiadó – aiming to provide an international publication forum for new research findings and new ideas on any field of sports science.
The word sports encompasses the classical physical education, coaching, exercise physiology, sports cardiology, nutrition, dopping, sports psychology, sports management, sports events organization, effect of sports on societies, equality of humans, and so on. Indeed, sports are present on every level of our life, from molecules, to humans and to societies, including health, development and aging of athletes and non-athletes, educational and society issues, sports events-management, sports infrastructure engineering, and so on. Thus sports are present at all levels of life and society and have connections to nearly all scientific fields.
With such an interdisciplinary and translational approach SPRINT – the word perhaps most associated with sports – is welcoming and considering the following types of manuscripts: Original Research Papers, Research Letters, Case Reports, and Review Papers. The journal also publishes Letters to the Editor, Editorials, and comprehensive series of reviews as Spotlight Issues.
Manuscripts are normally evaluated by at least two members from an international panel of reviewers and, in most cases, we provide a first editorial decision within 30 days of receipt.
SPRINT – Sports Research International is the official journal of the Hungarian University of Sports Science for dissemination of the results of all kinds of research conducted on any aspect of sports. The SPRINT is the continuation of the previous bilingual journal Testnevelés, Sport, Tudomány / Physical Education, Sport, Science, which was the successor of the journal Kalokagathia (Greek for “beautiful” and “good” or “virtuous”).
The journal aims to enhance insight into sports science and underlying responsible mechanisms, to advance future developments and innovations. The journal welcomes submission of papers from the molecular to the society levels related to sports. Manuscripts are expected to provide a significant contribution to the field of sports science. We hope that the journal will reach first a readership in Eastern and Central Europe, then in Europe, and then hopefully worldwide.
