Author Guidelines

Types of Published Articles
Physical Education and Sports: Studies and Research is published either as a research article or a review article. 

1. Research articles report original research findings in physical education, physical rehabilitation, and sports training. The research article should include a clear research question, methodology, results, and conclusion. The article should also provide a clear and concise discussion of the research findings, their implications, and their contributions to the relevant field of study. The total length of the manuscript, including references, must not exceed 7,000 words.

2. Review articles comprehensively review the existing literature on a specific topic in physical education, physical rehabilitation, and sports training. Review articles should critically analyze and synthesize the literature, identify knowledge gaps, and suggest future research directions. The format and length of review papers are more flexible than research articles. Typical reviews are less than 8,000 words, including references.
 

All published articles in Physical Education and Sports: Studies and Research should be based on rigorous and ethical research and adhere to the highest standards of scientific integrity. The journal encourages the submission of articles that present innovative and original research and contribute to developing new theories, methodologies, and techniques.

5. Abstracts
The abstract of your manuscript should consist of a single paragraph containing no more than 250 words. It should provide a self-contained and concise research summary, including the rationale, methodology, results, and conclusions. Uncommon abbreviations should be spelled out when first used. We highly recommend that authors structure their abstracts according to the following format without using explicit headings:
1. Background: Situate the research question within a broader context and emphasize the study's purpose.
2. Methods: Briefly describe the main methods or treatments employed in the study.
3. Results: Summarize the primary findings of the article.
4. Conclusions: State the main findings or interpretations derived from the research.
By following this structured abstract style, readers can quickly grasp the key aspects of your study concisely and organized.

6. Keywords
List 3-6 pertinent keywords specific to the article yet reasonably common within the subject discipline. Keywords (3-5 words) must be listed below the abstract.

7. Introduction
This section includes background and gap analysis which reinforces the argument why the research was conducted. Please include primary references from similar publications from the last 10 years of publication to show the novelty of your text. Do not include a theory or literature review in this section.

8. Methods
The methods section of your manuscript should provide a comprehensive description that enables other researchers to replicate and expand upon the published results. It is important to note that submitting your manuscript for publication makes all materials, data, computer code, and protocols associated with the study available to readers. If there are any restrictions on the availability of materials or information, please disclose them at the submission stage. Provide detailed descriptions for new methods and protocols, while well-established methods can be briefly summarized and appropriately referenced.

9. Result and Discussions
The Results and Discussion section may be organized into subheadings for clarity. It should present a concise and accurate description of the experimental results, their interpretation, and the conclusions that can be drawn from them. Authors should analyze and discuss the results of previous studies and the working hypotheses. The implications of the findings should be discussed in a broader context, considering their significance and potential applications. Additionally, authors may outline future research directions that can build upon the current study.

10. Conclusion
In conclusion, this study reaffirms the hypothesis and highlights the key findings. The significant contributions to existing knowledge have been summarized, along with acknowledging the limitations of the research. The implications of the findings have been discussed, shedding light on potential future directions for further investigation. The conclusions are firmly grounded in the original research question and are directly supported by the results. By carefully considering these aspects, this study provides a comprehensive and conclusive understanding of the subject matter.

11. Abbreviations
 Abbreviations should be defined upon the first appearance in the text.

13. Figures and Tables
 All figures and tables should be cited in the main text as Figure 1, Table 1, etc.

Figure 1. Salivary Total Protein

1. Figure titles, captions, and information relevant to the figures must be written clearly. Use "Figure 1. XXXX" for the figure title and use "(g. Fig. 1) or "as shown in Figure 1." in the text.
 2. Figure legends should be listed at the end of the manuscript following the Tables.
 3. Figures should be presented in TIFF or JPEG format and each figure should be submitted separately. The file names should be presented as follows: "Figure_1.jpg", Figure_2.jpg".
 4. The arrangement and format of the figures should be presented in the order that they appear in the content of the manuscript.
 5. If figures are presented, a scale or scale bar must accompany them.
 6. The panels of each multi-part figure should be arranged; however, the figure should be published and saved in a single file. Each part should be labeled with an uppercase letter for each figure component (e.g., Fig. 1C) and a single number for the entire figure group.

Table 1. This is a table. Tables should be placed in the main text near the first time they are cited.

Table may have a footer.
1. Tables can be embedded in the main manuscript after the reference to the Table in the text.
2. Tables should be created using the "Table" function in Microsoft Word. Please do not use Excel to insert tables as figures.
3. The accepted and preferred file format for Tables is Microsoft Word.
4. Table captions and contents in the tables must be written clearly.
