Sports: Nutrition and Metabolism in Relation to Athletes’ Health and Performance
This special issue belongs to the section "Nutrition and Metabolism".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The objective of this Special Issue is to enhance the understanding of the contribution of nutritional and metabolic factors to the health and performance of sports athletes and practitioners. Consequently, we welcome articles focusing on sports athlete and practitioner supplementation, rapid weight loss, nutritional requirements, and their impact on health and performance. Moreover, this Special Issue aims to explore the effects of sports practice and training on human metabolism and energy requirements. Lastly, we are particularly interested in investigations regarding the influence of nutritional interventions on sports athletes' metabolism and how this can impact their health and performance.
