Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In each sport and athlete, there is a particular set of nutritional needs and objectives for the improvement of sports performance. A number of factors that determine nutritional status such as body composition, doping, nutrition, diet and sports supplements are highlighted. What is ingested before, during and after training or competition affects the health, body composition, and therefore the performance and recovery of athletes. Moreover, sportspeople are a population that consumes a lot of sports supplements and are the main target of the industry that produces them. Therefore, it is important to study its quality, safety, advertising and legislation to know the benefits and risks that they can provide, as well as the protocols and recommended quantities to take.
Currently, the habits or pattern intake of foods and supplements during training or competition are still unknown, and more studies are needed about dietary-nutritional strategies and nutrition-related adverse outcomes in strength and endurance sports. As dietary planning in sports nutrition include several aspects that may be studied deeply, this especial issue seeks to provide information about the characteristics of each sport and the needs associated to their competitions. Additionally, this issue is expected to provide also information about the benefits and the risks of sport supplements during training or competition. As Chief Editors of this Special Issue titled “Dietary planning in Sports Nutrition”, we would like to make a call for original research articles, cohort studies, cases studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses focused on this topic.
