I told my colleagues that PeerJ is a journal where they need to publish if they want their paper to be published quickly and with the strict peer review expected from a good journal.

He has worked with elite Olympic athletes across various disciplines, encompassing both winter and summer sports, and has collaborated with international sports organizations.

Hugo A. Kerhervé

I am a sport and exercise scientist with a multidisciplinary background in exercise physiology, biomechanics and motor control.

I am interested in multifactorial approaches to human acute and chronic adaptation to various stresses, through the study of:

- the factors of performance in individual and team sports in participants with and without disabilities;
- the human-equipment and human-environment interface in performance and injury prevention;
- exercise interventions for health and well-being throughout life and across cultures;
- age-specific and sex-specific factors of cardiovascular, biomechanical and neuromuscular adaptation.

Andrew P Lavender

Senior Lecturer in the Institute of Health and Wellbeing, Federation University Australia. Dr Lavender completed a BSc and a MSc in Sport Science at Edith Cowan University and PhD at Yokohama City University. He is currently teaching applied research for exercise science and motor control and conducting research in exercise for healthy ageing, exercise induced muscle damage and eccentric training and sport related concussion and sub-concussion.

Yumeng Li

Dr. Yumeng Li is an associate professor in the Department of Health and Human Performance at Texas State University.

His primary research area focuses on sports and clinical biomechanics.

Jeremy P. Loenneke

Dr. Loenneke is the director of the Kevser Ermin Applied Physiology Laboratory and his research group’s primary focus is on skeletal muscle adaptations to exercise with and without the application of blood flow restriction. He is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine and a member of the American Physiological Society.

Julien Louis

Dr Julien Louis is Reader in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology at Liverpool John Moores University (UK). Julien is also Associate Researcher at the French Institute of Sport, Expertise and Performance (INSEP, Paris), and member of the Editorial Board of the European Journal of Sport Science, Journal of Sport Sciences, Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, PlosOne, and Nutrients. Julien's research focuses on training, nutrition and recovery strategies for optimising sport performance, with an emphasis on elite sport. Julien is also interested in the effects of ageing on sport performance with masters athletes at the centre of his research. In parallel to his academic roles, Julien regularly works as Consultant Nutritionist in Elite sport. He is the current performance Nutritionist of AG2R-Citroen professional cycling team, and previous appointments include Liverpool Football Club, Lille Football Club, the French Football Federation, and many Olympic sports.

Giuseppe Marcolin

Giuseppe Marcolin is an Associate Professor in Sports Science at the Department of Biomedical Sciences of the University of Padova, Italy. He obtained a BSc in Physical Education (ISEF) at the University of Bologna. Then, he obtained his MSc in Human Movement Sciences and his PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Padova. His scientific activity is devoted to biomechanical and electromyographical analysis applied to functional assessment in sports training and rehabilitation. He mainly focuses on understanding the influence static and dynamic balance control has on sports performance among athletes and fall risk among older adults. He is a member of the Italian Society of Motor and Sport Sciences (SISMES). He collaborated with the International Sports Engineering Association (ISEA) as a member of the organizing committee of the ISEA Winter School editions.
