Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sports nutrition is a rapidly expanding scientific area, driven by the huge interest of the academic/research community, the exercising public, and the functional food/sport nutraceutical sector. Evidence-based nutrition guidelines are crucial for maximizing sports practice, yet the role of specific nutrients/food bioactive remains debatable. Moreover, more research on sports metabolomics is still needed to back up currently unsubstantiated claims for many in-market products for this specialized consumer segment that will experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of ~8% just between 2019-2024. In fact, dietary recommendations from many international organizations (e.g. ESSNA, ISSN) have focused their efforts in recent years on raising awareness among professional/amateur sports practitioners on the safe and scientifically-supported use of foods supplements and personalized healthy nutrition practices.
This Special Issue of IJERPH welcomes manuscripts (basic or applied science) focused on personalized sports nutrition and physical fitness. Reviews (narrative/systematic/meta-analysis) on the state of the art of any aspect covered by this topic as well as original research articles on the metabolic impact of nutrients and food-derived xenobiotics in body composition, physical performance, and other relevant physiological responses such as energy metabolism, nutrient mobilization, and epigenetic/pharmacodynamics of ingested bioactives in humans or animal and cell models are of particular interest.
