Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The synergistic relationship between nutrition and exercise is pivotal for optimizing skeletal muscle health and overall well-being. We invite researchers to contribute original research articles, reviews, and perspectives to our upcoming issue exploring this dynamic interplay between nutritional supplements, exercise, skeletal muscle health, and performance. This Special Issue aims at highlighting recent advancements in nutritional and/or dietary strategies and training interventions, emphasizing their combined effects on metabolism, muscle adaptation, physical function, and overall health.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The influence of nutritional supplements on exercise performance, recovery, and muscle function.
- The role of resistance and endurance training in nutrient utilization and skeletal muscle adaptation.
- The impact of dietary patterns on metabolic health, inflammation, and musculoskeletal integrity.
- Mechanisms underlying exercise-induced muscle hypertrophy, muscle preservation, and recovery through nutritional interventions.
- The effects of combined dietary and exercise strategies in aging populations, athletes, and individuals with chronic conditions.
This Special Issue serves as a platform to showcase cutting-edge research bridging nutrition and exercise science to enhance physical performance and overall health. We welcome interdisciplinary submissions from the fields of exercise physiology, sports nutrition, kinesiology, and metabolic health, particularly studies that investigate the association between nutrition, exercise training, and holistic well-being.
