Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The relationship between nutrition and sports performance, through its influence on energy metabolism, has been extensively studied in recent decades. Nutritional supplements have also received much attention in this context. Similar to other areas of biomedical research, the information available on women is limited, and there is an urgent need to expand upon the available information. In addition, detailed intake assessments are needed to guide and optimize nutritional interventions aimed at improving the health status and performance of athletes. More recently, other modulating elements have emerged in this relationship, such as the composition and metabolic activity of microbiota, the dynamics and content of extracellular vesicles, or the mitochondrial function in different tissues.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, which aims to expand knowledge on the relationship between dietary and supplementation habits, along with athletic performance, through the modulation of the metabolic response to exercise, with special attention being paid to new mechanisms that will ultimately allow for the optimization of nutritional interventions.
