Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Evidence from various preclinical and clinical studies has revealed that various dietary components (e.g., nutrients, phytochemicals, prebiotics/probiotics, etc.) play a significant role in exercise performance and have emerged as potential ergogenic agents in a broad range of exercise scenarios and models.
Even well-established supplements such as nutritional ergogenic aids with a higher level of evidence may have limitations regarding their specific populations, the mechanisms by which they act, as well as the interactions between them.
Dietary supplement regulation, efficacy, safety, contamination, supplementation during sports, ergolityc effects, knowledge about supplementation, supplementation and quality of sleep, and the cellular mecanisms induced by supplements are the focuses of this Special Issue, but there is no limit to these topics.
Importantly, dietary strategies involving train gut, sleep low, train low, train high, carbloading, and other fueling strategies, as well as energy restriction, are also within the scope of this Special Issue.
This Special Issue of Nutrients includes articles that provide novel insights into how supplements and dietary strategies may counteract metabolic disruptions and improve athletic performance.
