Current Aspects of Nutritional Supplementation, Physical Exercise, and Oxidative Stress Biomarkers

Dear Colleagues,

People consume supplements to get essential nutrients and maintain or improve their health. Supplements are especially popular among physically active individuals, both in training professionally and recreationally. Skeletal muscles, during contractions, generate reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), which may cause fatigue or oxidative damage. On the other hand, RONS may lead to a variety of adaptations at the cellular and systemic levels. These adaptations are differentially affected by training volume, training intensity, and training status. Furthermore, nutritional choices may enhance or impair the response to training.

In this Special Issue, we would like to bring readers closer to the state-of-the-art in the field by gathering papers describing the interplay between nutritional supplementation (not only antioxidants) in the relation to the redox regulation of muscle fatigue and oxidative damage, the role of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in regulation of skeletal muscle adaptations. Original research articles and reviews (systematic reviews and meta-analyses) are welcome.

We look forward to receiving your contributions

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
