Nutritional Supports for Sport Performance

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of the Nutrients journal, titled “Nutritional Supports for Sport Performance”, invites the submission of high-quality research papers and reviews that advance our understanding of how nutrition influences sports performance. We aim to gather a comprehensive collection of studies that explore various aspects of sports nutrition, including but not limited to, the impact of macronutrients, micronutrients, supplements, hydration strategies, and timing of nutrient intake on athletic performance, recovery, and overall health. Contributions may also cover dietary strategies for different types of sports, personalized nutrition, the role of gut microbiota in performance, and nutritional challenges faced by athletes. We welcome studies involving athletes of all levels, from amateur to elite, as well as research that addresses specific needs of special populations engaged in sports activities.

This Special Issue seeks to provide insights that can inform practice and policy, and help athletes, coaches, nutritionists, and sports medicine professionals to optimize performance through evidence-based nutritional strategies. Submissions that provide new insights into the mechanisms by which nutrition can affect sport performance, as well as those exploring emerging trends and innovations in sports nutrition, are particularly encouraged.
