Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The relationship between nutrition, exercise, and body composition is complex and multifactorial. Evidence has shown that the quality and quantity of food intake, along with regular physical activity, including exercise intensity, type, and the interaction between these factors, play a crucial role in determining body composition across different life stages.
Developing healthy habits in both nutrition and physical activity is crucial, as the interplay between these factors significantly influences body composition and overall health throughout life. Given the multifaceted nature of these relationships, there is a need for further attention and targeted interventions across diverse populations.
This Special Issue of Nutrients aims to update the latest scientific evidence on these topics, focusing on the interaction between diet and exercise and how they affect key body composition parameters, such as fat mass, muscle mass, and bone health. We are also seeking studies that explore new strategies or innovative approaches to promoting a healthy lifestyle through the combination of nutrition and physical activity.
This Special Issue of Nutrients welcomes the submission of manuscripts describing original research (epidemiological studies or clinical trials), systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.
