Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Resistance training is essential for athletic performance and overall health, promoting muscle hypertrophy, strength development, and metabolic adaptations. Nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting these adaptations by regulating muscle protein synthesis, recovery, and exercise performance. Proper nutritional strategies—including macronutrient intake, supplementation, and meal timing—can enhance the effects of resistance training, while inadequate nutrition may limit progress and impair recovery.
Despite extensive research on the relationship between resistance training and nutrition, several critical aspects remain underexplored. Questions persist regarding optimal protein intake, the efficacy of various supplements, and the influence of specific dietary patterns on resistance training outcomes across diverse populations. Furthermore, growing evidence suggests that individualized nutritional strategies may be necessary to maximize training benefits.
This Special Issue, “Nutrition Strategy and Resistance Training”, aims to advance our understanding of the interplay between nutrition and resistance training. We invite submissions of original research, cohort studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses exploring dietary strategies, supplementation, and their effects on resistance training adaptations. By gathering cutting-edge research, this issue seeks to contribute to evidence-based recommendations that optimize resistance training outcomes.
