Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diverse bioactive compounds derived from dietary supplements have been suggested to exacerbate the positive effects of physical exercise on both performance and health promotion. This is applicable not only to athletes but also to non-athletes and individuals grappling with various health conditions, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, and cancer. These bioactive compounds have been proposed to exert modulatory effects on inflammation, metabolism, gene expression, molecular pathways, oxidative stress and muscle function. Despite these promising indications, the precise cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these effects are not yet fully elucidated. This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the effects of dietary bioactive compounds on physical and athletic performance and health promotion in non-athletes and athletes. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses both fundamental and applied studies, addressing various facets of this extensive research field.
