Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutritional practices that aim to improve sport-specific and exercise performance, reduce the risk of injury, and promote overall health are paramount to athletic success. Often, athletes, and even recreationally active and exercising individuals, are trying to gain a competitive edge or enhance aspects of their training. Over the last three decades, the field of sports nutrition has blossomed, with numerous nutritional strategies emerging and believed to confer a benefit to the end user. The Special Issue calls for papers that address topics related to nutrition and its impact on training, exercise, and sport-specific performance and overall health. The scope extends to assessing the impact of short- and long-term nutrition interventions on a range of performance and health metrics, including those evaluated in isolation and applied research within a sport-specific setting. Original research as well as narrative and systematic reviews are welcome.
