Special issue "Impact of gender: current panorama of women in motor behavior"
The Brazilian Journal of Motor Behavior (BJMB) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by the Brazilian Society of Motor Behavior (Sociedade Brasileira de Comportamento Motor - SOCIBRACOM). The BJMB accepts original contributions encompassing the multidisciplinary study of human movement throughout lifespan, involving a broad range of topics related to the field of Motor Behavior like motor control, development and learning, movement disorders, clinical, theoretical and model studies. Manuscripts are welcome from diverse disciplines such as kinesiology, biomechanics, neurophysiology, neuroscience, psychology, medicine, sports performance and rehabilitation.
In this special issue, we invite papers related to IMPACT OF GENDER: CURRENT PANORAMA OF WOMEN IN MOTOR BEHAVIOR topics. Papers that discuss the role of women who contributed to consolidating the motor behavior area with special attention to the damage that gender inequality brings to the production of knowledge.

Special issue "Control of Gait and Posture: a tribute to Professor Lilian T. B. Gobbi"
The Brazilian Journal of Motor Behavior (BJMB) is a peer-reviewed, free-of-charge, and open-access journal published by the Brazilian Society of Motor Behavior (Sociedade Brasileira de Comportamento Motor - SOCIBRACOM). The BJMB accepts original contributions encompassing the multidisciplinary study of human movement throughout the lifespan, involving a broad range of topics related to the field of Motor Behavior like motor control, development and learning, movement disorders, clinical, theoretical and model studies.
The goal of this special issue is to discuss the control of gait and posture to make a tribute to Professor Lilian Gobbi. Considering that much of her life was spent in understanding the control of gait and posture, the present special issue will discuss cutting-edge studies that address aspects related to gait and posture, such as mobility and balance performance, kinematics, kinetics, muscle activity, and brain activity analysis, in usual and adaptative conditions. To enhance our understanding of the control of gait and posture, we encourage studies related to neurological diseases (e.g., Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, etc), aging effects, skeletal-muscle disorders, fatigue, intervention and rehabilitation focusing on gait and posture, and also theoretical hypotheses for the control of gait and posture, such as brain control and perception aspects.
- Manuscript submission deadline: April 01, 2023
- Notification of acceptance: until May 01, 2023
- Submission of final revised paper: until May 30, 2023
- Publication of special issue: June 01, 2023

Special issue "Fatigue Role in Modulating Motor Skills and Muscular Responses"
The Brazilian Journal of Motor Behavior (BJMB) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by the Brazilian Society of Motor Behavior (Sociedade Brasileira de Comportamento Motor - SOCIBRACOM). The BJMB accepts original contributions encompassing the multidisciplinary study of human movement throughout lifespan, involving a broad range of topics related to the field of Motor Behavior like motor control, development and learning, movement disorders, clinical, theoretical and model studies.
