Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the upcoming Special Issue on "Nutritional Supplementation in Health and Sports Performance." Nutritional supplements play a crucial role in enhancing athletic performance, speeding up recovery, and supporting overall health. Common supplements such as proteins, creatine, amino acids, and electrolytes are increasingly being used to improve endurance, strength, and recovery in athletes. These supplements offer a variety of health benefits from muscle repair to balancing fluid levels during high intensity training and continuous physical activities.
As the supplement industry continues to grow, understanding proper usage, dosage, and individual needs is essential for maximizing benefits and minimizing risks. While whole foods remain essential, supplements provide a practical and efficient means to achieve optimal nutrient intake for peak performance. Additionally, the co-ingestion of different sports supplements, such as proteins with creatine or amino acids, is an emerging area that requires further research to understand their combined effects on performance and recovery. We invite submissions exploring the latest research and innovations in nutritional supplementation, including the impact on sports performance, health, and new formulations. We encourage manuscripts on these topics and more to advance the conversation on supplementation in health and performance.
