Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic exercise training programs require careful planning to maximize recovery following training sessions. As I am sure we can all agree, incomplete recovery can reduce the effectiveness of training, increase risk of injury, and, ultimately, negatively impact exercise performance. Nutritional considerations and resultant strategies are an important component of any comprehensive training plan. Nutritional strategies may include the consideration of macro/micronutrients, dietary supplementation, pre/post exercise nutrition, hydration, etc. Each of these strategies targets a slightly different aspect of exercise training, recovery, and/or performance. A variety of experimental designs and approaches are possible to test nutritional strategies for exercise recovery and performance. In this Special Issue, we are exploring novel approaches to validate the efficacy of nutritional strategies to maximize exercise recovery and, by extension, exercise performance. New measurement techniques, or new applications of existing techniques, are of particular interest.
