Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ability of nutritional supplements to optimize performance has long been an area of focus within the field of sports nutrition and human performance. There are hundreds of nutrients, such as creatine, beta-alanine, vitamin D, nitrates, and caffeine, that have been well-studied, with consistent evidence supporting their ability to improve athletic performance and health. However, there continues to be a need to explore additional nutrients of interest, as well as alternative applications or potential benefits in unexplored populations. Nutritional supplementation studies including younger athletes and female athletes are understudied and therefore will be an area of interest for this Special Issue. Similarly, long-term supplementation studies are also needed to better understand the implications of continued supplementation on training adaptations and overall health in athletic populations.
