Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutritional intervention and exercise are the two cornerstones of a healthy lifestyle. They can have significant positive effects on both physical and cognitive performance. Moreover, they play a vital role in preventing and managing chronic diseases, such as obesity, type 2 diabete, cardiovascular, mental health impairements and chronic pain. In addition, exercise contributes to the achievement of total well-being. It is important to note that the type and intensity of exercise can vary depending on the individual and the specific health condition being addressed. Therefore, eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise are essential for maintaining good health and preventing chronic diseases; small changes to our diet and lifestyle can significantly improve our health and well-being.
This Special Issue of Nutrients explores the relationship between food, exercise and overall health. This connection is crucial for athletes aiming to optimize their performance, as well as for individuals striving to maintain good health, prevent and delay chronic diseases.
“Nutrition and Metabolism in Sports, Exercise and Health” welcomes the submission of manuscripts either describing original research or reviewing the scientific literature, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The proposed manuscripts should cover the effects of exercise, metabolism and nutrition.
