Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Adequate levels of physical activity and a balanced diet are two essential components of a healthy lifestyle. However, the growing interest in the interaction between nutrition and exercise adaptations has led to many exciting controversies. Thus, there continues to be a focus on the effects of various dietary strategies, such as macronutrient ratios, micronutrient intake, dietary supplementation, and the overall energy balance, to influence various aspects of human performance and health.
We are pleased to invite you to provide clinicians and researchers with evidence-based recommendations regarding combined physical activity/training programs with dietary intake control, ingesting nutritional supplements, and/or using ergogenic aids to optimize and enhance wellness, performance, and health adaptations.
Aim of the Special Issue and how the subject relates to the journal scope. Please make sure that your Special Issue is in the scope of the journal. You can check the scope in the Journal menu: Aims & Scope. Additionally, the scope should not be too broad or too narrow.
This Special Issue aims to analyze the need to study the effects of combined physical activity and dietary intake on female and male exercise practitioners' adaptations, health, and performance.
Therefore, in this Special Issue, we aim to publish original research articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses addressing the need to study the effects of combined physical activity and dietary intake on female and male exercise practitioners' adaptations, health, and performance.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
