Het project bestrijkt een breed scala aan onderwerpen, waaronder letselprofielen, strategieën voor het voorkomen van letsels, onderzoeksstudies (observatief, interventioneel, sportgeneeskunde, klinische proeven, enz.), casestudies, opiniestukken, overzichtsartikelen, evenals fundamentele en geavanceerde concepten, technieken en technische aspecten van vechtsporten.

Alle onderzoeksartikelen worden in een academische stijl gepubliceerd. Sommige artikelen worden uitgebracht onder de naam M.A.R.S., terwijl andere kunnen verschijnen in externe peer-reviewed academische tijdschriften. Artikelen die door M.A.R.S. worden gepubliceerd, zijn altijd open access, zodat ze voor alle lezers toegankelijk zijn.
