Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the complex interplay between exercise, nutrition, and genetic and epigenetic factors in shaping health and physical performance. It highlights recent research on how training adaptations, dietary strategies, and inherited traits influence athletic performance, disease prevention, and overall well-being. Additionally, it examines the role of epigenetic modifications in response to lifestyle factors, shedding light on how gene expression can be regulated by exercise and nutrition. By integrating multidisciplinary insights, this Special Issue aims to advance our understanding of personalized approaches to health, fitness, and performance optimization.
