Aim and Scope

J-PASTE emphasizes the implementation of digital technology, data analytics, engineering, and applied sport science in community service programs to address real challenges in physical activity and sport. The journal welcomes manuscripts that report community empowerment activities, technology transfer, and applied innovations that contribute to increasing physical activity participation, sport performance, and public health in diverse community settings.

1. Community-Based Physical Activity and Human Performance

Programs focusing on improving physical fitness and movement quality through community engagement, including:

  • community assessment and monitoring of physical activity and fitness,

  • movement literacy and motor learning programs for schools and clubs,

  • Exercise prescription for public health and sports communities,

  • Injury prevention and rehabilitation services for athletes and the general population.

2. Sport Technology Implementation and Innovation

Community service initiatives utilizing sport technology, such as:

  • application of wearable devices and sensor-based monitoring in communities,

  • training on artificial intelligence and simple analytics for coaches and teachers,

  • development of performance tracking systems for local sport clubs,

  • utilization of virtual reality, augmented reality, and digital coaching in community programs.

3. Applied Data Analytics for Community Sport

Technology-assisted empowerment activities using data-driven approaches, including:

  • training on basic sport data analytics for practitioners,

  • community use of motion analysis and simple biomechanical tools,

  • monitoring training load and recovery in local athletes,

  • digital platforms for assessing community physical activity levels.

4. Physical Activity Promotion, Health, and Society

Programs integrating technology with social and health interventions:

  • technology-based campaigns to increase physical activity participation,

  • digital interventions for active lifestyle in schools and workplaces,

  • inclusive and adaptive sport technology for people with disabilities,

  • community physical activity movements and public health partnerships.

5. Applied Sport Technology Engagement and Empowerment

Reports on practical community implementation:

  • case studies of sport technology adoption in local contexts,

  • development of smart training environments for schools and clubs,

  • gamification and e-sport approaches to promote active behavior,

  • ethical, cultural, and social aspects of technology use in sport communities.
