Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sports involving multiple sprints, including team and racquet disciplines, are characterised by repeated bouts of high-intensity exercise interspersed with short recovery periods. These unique demands place considerable stress on athletes' energy systems, neuromuscular functions, and recovery capacity. Therefore, optimal nutritional strategies are essential to enhance performance, accelerate recovery, optimise body composition, and reduce the risk of injury.
This Special Issue, 'Nutrition Interventions in Multiple-Sprint Sports and Exercises', aims to bring together cutting-edge research and critical reviews that address the role of nutrition in supporting athletes engaged in these demanding sports. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
• The effects of sports nutrition strategies on high-intensity interval and multiple-sprint performance;
• The influence of dietary patterns and macronutrient distribution on body composition and recovery;
• Evidence-based approaches to supplementation and ergogenic aids;
• Nutritional strategies for injury prevention and rehabilitation.
The role of personalised nutrition in optimising performance outcomes.
We invite the submission of original research articles and reviews that provide novel insights into the intersection of nutrition, exercise, and performance in multiple-sprint sports. This Special Issue welcomes contributions from interdisciplinary perspectives with the aim of advancing the science and practical applications of sports nutrition.
