Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutrition represents, together with training and genetic background, a key factor in leading to optimal performance in athletes. In recent years, sports and nutrition practitioners have become increasingly concerned about the physical activity and sedentary behavior of athletes; digital and social media, for example, have dramatically changed the type and amount of daily athletes’ activities. At the same time, training, travel, sleep, close competitions, personal life events, and different cultural and regional practices as well as religious-related traditions may affect nutritional needs, physical activity, and sedentary behavior of athletes. When diet is inadequate, it can lead to energy deficiency (RED) in exercise, the female athlete triad, nutritional deficiencies, and, together with the adoption of unhealthy behaviors out of training practices, increased susceptibility to injury and illness.
This Special Issue seeks the submission of manuscripts describing original research or commentary, focusing on physical activity, sedentary behavior, dietary patterns, and health products and supplements in athletes.
