Effects of Nutrient Intake on Exercise Recovery and Adaptation

Dear Colleagues,

Optimising adaptation to exercise is primarily determined by the stimulus being placed on the body’s various physiological systems. However, nutrition plays an essential role in facilitating recovery and adaptation through the provision of energy substrates and macro- and micro-nutrients. While many studies focus on acute responses, such as inflammation and functional recovery, an understanding of how longer-term dietary interventions can influence chronic adaptation to exercise, and subsequent physical performance, is essential. Therefore, this special issue aims to advance our understanding of how nutrition interacts with exercise to influence recovery, physiological adaptation, and performance. This may include, but is not limited to, studies investigating the effects of nutrient timing, optimal nutrient intake, and common and novel foods and supplements on recovery and/or adaptation to all forms of exercise, in any population.
