Science and Medicine in Football is a quarterly international, peer-reviewed journal. The mission of the publication is to advance the theoretical knowledge, methodological approaches and the professional practice associated with the sport of football. The journal aims to publish meaningful articles on various aspects of sports medicine and science related to all codes of football.

In addition to original research, review articles, clinical case studies, short communications/technical reports are considered. The Journal will be of interest to the growing numbers of academic researchers and students, as well as clinicians and applied practitioners in football-related organisations across the world.

Topic areas include sports medicine, epidemiology, prevention, rehabilitation, physiology, biomechanics, nutrition, training and testing, performance analysis, sport psychology and coaching. Manuscripts from social sciences are only considered when they deal with aspects very close to these named fields.
