Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue is to deliver novel insights into the dietary requirements and nutrition strategies associated with physiological benefits and athletic performance for people participating in high-intensity interval training. Muscle cells differ in their contractile and metabolic properties. Their different recruitment patterns during exercise enable the determination of muscle metabolism during varied training intensities. High-intensity interval training has been recommended in sports and rehabilitation guidelines as an alternative and/or complementary exercise modality to continuous aerobic exercise. High-intensity interval training has been reported to be more effective in clinical and experimental settings from the standpoints of peak oxygen uptake and central and peripheral adaptations.

This Special Issue aims to collate the latest research examining the impacts of nutrition strategies on muscle metabolic properties, exercise tolerance, fatigue, and athletic performance. We welcome submissions relating to both human and animal studies exploring novel dietary exposure interventions which aim to optimize the effectiveness of high-intensity interval training. Studies which focus on novel training modalities and nutrient-based intervention strategies are particularly encouraged.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Excessive body fat is associated with various comorbidities including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus and certain types of cancer. The search for effective, relatively easy to maintain body-fat reduction interventions has been ongoing. We aimed to review the current literature to assess the effectiveness of high-intensity interval training with and without dietary supplementation on body fat loss, concentration of markers of metabolic health and aerobic capacity of adults with overweight and obesity. Seventy full-text articles were assessed to determine their eligibility and thirteen were included in the review. The methodology of this systematic review was developed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Almost all studies (93%) demonstrated effectiveness of high-intensity interval training of various protocols in reducing body fat, improving metabolic health and aerobic capacity of adults with overweight and obesity. These effects were enhanced by an addition of a dietary supplement, such as green tea or ginger or other. Although combining HIIT with dietary supplementation seem to improve body composition, metabolic health and aerobic capacity in adults with overweight and obesity in some instances to a greater extent than HIIT alone, it does not seem to be necessary to combine these two interventions.
