International Journal of Sports Science & Coaching

International Journal of Sports Science & Coaching


eISSN: 2048397X | ISSN: 17479541 | Current volume: 19 | Current issue: 6 Frequency: Bi-monthly

The International Journal of Sports Science & Coaching (IJSSC) is a peer-reviewed, academic/professional journal, which has the mission of bridging the gap between coaching and sports science.

It welcomes studies from the social, natural, formal and applied sciences; and a wide range of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, physiology, nutrition, biomechanics, medical science, computer science, mathematics, and statistics.

Founded in 2006, the IJSSC is the most influential scholarly journal in coaching and sports science.

Each annual volume of the IJSSC has six issues.

The IJSSC welcomes the submission of articles in the following categories: Original Research, Research Notes, Case Studies, Reviews, and Perspectives.

The Editor-in-Chief invites Commentaries on articles published in the IJSSC. Usually a reviewer of the published article is the author of a Commentary.

A Perspectives article is for researchers to share their personal insights and critical thinking on a current dogma, controversial issue, challenging problem or pressing question that is of relevance to coaching and sports science. It may involve exploration of innovative ideas based on a new analysis and interpretation of existing data in a model-driven way. Prospective authors of a Perspectives article should make a pre-submission inquiry to the Editor-in-Chief.

Examples of relevant topics for the IJSSC are:

  • Evidence-based practice and coach-scientist relationships in high-performance sport
  • Systematic observation of coaches’ behaviours
  • Applications of data science and artificial intelligence, including machine learning
  • Motion analysis and wearable technology
  • Key performance indicators in team sports
  • Impact of changes in the rules of sport
  • Validity and reliability of skills tests and psychological inventories
  • Monitoring of physical loads in training and performance
  • Kinematics and kinetics of sports techniques
  • Representation-based vs. constraints-led approaches to the acquisition of sports skills
  • Equipment scaling in children’s sports
  • Video feedback in skill acquisition
  • Concussion knowledge, attitudes and reporting intentions in contact/ collision sports
  • Coaches’ beliefs, attitudes and practices concerning the menstrual cycle in their athletes
  • Growth, maturation and bio-banding
  • Beliefs and practices of strength and conditioning coaches
  • Coach decision-making and ethics with injured athletes
  • Coaches’ implementation strategies in providing social support to athletes
  • The effectiveness of coaches’ pre-match and half-time talks
  • The relationship between passion for coaching and coaches’ interpersonal behaviours
  • Evaluation of programmes to develop reflective practice in coaches
  • Reducing the risk of burnout in coaches and athletes

The IJSSC is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

The International Journal of Sports Science & Coaching (IJSSC) integrates theory and practice in sports science, promotes critical reflection of coaching practice, and evaluates commonly accepted beliefs about coaching effectiveness and performance enhancement.

The vision of the IJSSC is the development of a community in which scientific research explains the processes involved in sports coaching; sports science is accessible to coaches, translating knowledge into working practice; and sports scientists are aware of the challenges faced by coaches.

The IJSSC publishes Original Research, Research Notes and Case Studies representing a wide variety of quantitative and qualitative research methods. It also publishes Perspectives articles and invited Commentaries.

The peer review process is ‘open’ and transparent, meaning that both authors and referees know the identity of each other.
