Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Sports nutrition is a rapidly expanding scientific area, driven by the huge interest of the academic/research community, the exercising public, and the functional food/sport nutraceutical sector. Evidence-based nutrition guidelines are crucial for maximizing sports practice, yet the role of specific nutrients/food bioactive remains debatable. Moreover, more research on sports metabolomics is still needed to back up currently unsubstantiated claims for many in-market products for this specialized consumer segment that will experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of ~8% just between 2019-2024. In fact, dietary recommendations from many international organizations (e.g.  ESSNA, ISSN) have focused their efforts in recent years on raising awareness among professional/amateur sports practitioners on the safe and scientifically-supported use of foods supplements and personalized healthy nutrition practices.

This Special Issue of IJERPH welcomes manuscripts (basic or applied science) focused on personalized sports nutrition and physical fitness. Reviews (narrative/systematic/meta-analysis) on the state of the art of any aspect covered by this topic as well as original research articles on the metabolic impact of nutrients and food-derived xenobiotics in body composition, physical performance, and other relevant physiological responses such as energy metabolism, nutrient mobilization, and epigenetic/pharmacodynamics of ingested bioactives in humans or animal and cell models are of particular interest.

Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2500 CHF (Swiss Francs).

This report aims to summarise the scientific knowledge around hydration, nutrition, and metabolism at high altitudes and to transfer it into the practical context of extreme altitude alpinism, which, as far as we know, has never been considered before in the literature. Maintaining energy balance during alpine expeditions is difficult for several reasons and requires a deep understanding of human physiology and the biological basis for altitude acclimation. However, in these harsh conditions it is difficult to reconcile our current scientific knowledge in sports nutrition or even for mountaineering to high-altitude alpinism: extreme hypoxia, cold, and the logistical difficulties intrinsic to these kinds of expeditions are not considered in the current literature. Requirements for the different stages of an expedition vary dramatically with increasing altitude, so recommendations must differentiate whether the alpinist is at base camp, at high-altitude camps, or attempting the summit. This paper highlights nutritional recommendations regarding prioritising carbohydrates as a source of energy and trying to maintain a protein balance with a practical contextualisation in the extreme altitude environment in the different stages of an alpine expedition. More research is needed regarding specific macro and micronutrient requirements as well as the adequacy of nutritional supplementations at high altitudes. Full article
