Dietary Supplements and Exercise Performance

Dear Colleagues,

Nutritional interventions have been widely employed to optimize athletic performance across various modalities and populations. There is an extensive body of literature examining the overall energy balance, macronutrient and micronutrient intake, and dietary supplements in relation to different aspects of sports performance. These nutritional interventions have the potential to influence recovery processes, impact adaptation to varying loads and enhance athletic performance. The purpose is to analyze the relationship between dietary intake, sports supplementation and their effects on adaptation processes, recovery and athletic performance among diverse population groups. For instance, we may differentiate based on the type of sport, categorizing sports as predominantly aerobic, anaerobic or mixed. This Special Issue aims to collect the latest information about the effects and potential benefits of nutritional supplementation associated with exercise in populations of different ages and genders, as well as cases of special populations, such as individuals with diverse diseases.
