Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves deeply into the dynamic interplay between nutrition and functional neurology, emphasizing their combined potential to enhance athletic performance, mitigate metabolic disorders, and address eating disorders. By examining how dietary strategies and neurological processes influence each other, this Special Issue aims to uncover innovative approaches to optimizing both physical and mental performance in athletes.
It presents cutting-edge research on how brain function and metabolism respond to varying levels of physical and mental demands, shedding light on critical areas such as neuroinflammation, energy balance, and hormonal regulation. Additionally, it explores the role of tailored nutritional interventions in supporting cognitive resilience, emotional regulation, and recovery from the physical and psychological challenges faced by athletes. This comprehensive exploration highlights the importance of an integrative approach to sports science, bridging nutrition and neurology to improve overall health and performance in demanding athletic environments.
