Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
More than 50% of adults, and a greater percentage of young adults, admit to using at least one nutritional supplement per day. The most common of these supplements are vitamins and minerals that are used to maintain or enhance health and well-being. However, for many adults, including competitive athletes, the primary motivation for using dietary supplements is to enhance muscle growth, improve strength and enhance recovery. To ensure that this population group makes correct choices regarding the type of supplement to use, it is imperative that athletes, coaches, nutritionists and scientists working in the nutritional or sports nutrition field stay informed on the efficacy, safety and legality of various dietary supplements. Please consider submitting your latest research examining dietary supplements in competitive athletes. Review papers providing unique perspectives from sport scientists with extensive work in this area are also encouraged.
