Nutrition-Based Strategies to Reduce Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage and Soreness

Dear Colleagues,

An extensively researched phenomenon, exercise-induced muscle damage typically results in localised soreness, inflammation and decrements in muscle function, which may impact subsequent exercise performance and adherence. Extensive research has been carried out to identify modalities that aid recovery from this muscle damage, including the use of a variety of foods and supplements. While various nutritional strategies have shown the potential to alleviate symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage, there is considerable scope to better understand the efficacy of novel and commonly consumed foods and supplements, including whole foods and extracts, as well as identifying optimal dosing and timing, cellular mechanisms, and functional outcomes.

Therefore, this Special Issue is seeking original articles and reviews that focus on how nutritional strategies influence the responses to and outcomes of exercise-induced muscle damage.
