Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit original research or review articles to this Special Issue of Nutrients, dedicated to selected contributions from the 5th International Online Conference on Nutrients. It focuses on innovative research exploring advanced nutritional strategies in sport, highlighting personalised approaches for optimising performance, enhancing recovery, and improving overall health in different athletic disciplines. Contributions that address gender-specific nutritional strategies, the role of the gut microbiota in performance, and innovative dietary practices that balance athletic excellence with environmental sustainability are particularly welcome. Studies on the efficacy of dietary supplements, recovery techniques, injury prevention, and the long-term impact of dietary choices on athletes' health will also be presented. With this Special Issue, we aim to promote interdisciplinary discussion, advancing scientific understanding in support of evidence-based nutritional guidelines tailored to the athlete community, in line with the aims and purpose of Nutrients.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
