Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This second volume of this Special Issue follows on from the success of the first. We thereby invite you to publish your research in this Special Issue of “Sports Medicine: Nutritional Sciences and Nutritional Biochemistry”.
Sport medicine is now a well-established field with many different applications, ranging from well-being to competitive sports up to professional athletes. In particular, as in other sectors, nutrition is experiencing exponential growth in interest, leading to the drive to have an increasingly scientific and systematic approach to the subject.
This Special Issue aims to place a particular emphasis on sports nutrition, in particular evaluating the aspects of hormonal and biochemical regulation. This includes “classic” aspects of sports nutrition, such as pre- and post-workout, pre- and post-competition nutrition, nutrition during physical activity, dietary supplementation with particular focus on ergogenics (creatine, BCAA, HMB, beta-alanine, etc.) and sport foods (protein powders, bars, gels, etc.), as well as innovative aspects such as the analysis of metabolites through urine or miRNAs to evaluate the nutritional status and consequent performance. Finally, we include new concepts that may involve AI and computational models, such as fractals.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Nutrition “peri” workouts;
- Nutritional supplements and performance;
- The role of metabolomics in sports nutrition;
- The role of miRNA in sports nutrition;
- A new consideration of the metabolic pathways applied to sport nutrition;
- Ergogenics and sport food: new insights;
- AI and sports nutrition;
- Nutrition and body composition evaluation.
