Nutrition plays a critical role in the recovery of skeletal muscle after exercise. Adequate macronutrient intake, particularly protein, is essential to support acute muscle repair, growth and eventual adaptation, while metabolic recovery depends on energy substrate availability. Also, certain micronutrients may aid in skeletal muscle growth and repair but the evidence for this is less prevalent in the scientific literature. Skeletal muscle's ability to recover from exercise may also be influenced by nutrient timing, type, and quantity. Therefore, research in this area is crucial to improve our understanding of the role of nutrition in recovery of skeletal muscle after exercise and to identify optimal nutritional strategies to enhance exercise performance, recovery and adaptation.
The goal of this Research Topic is to provide a platform for researchers to share their latest findings on the impact of nutrition on recovery of skeletal muscle after exercise. This Research Topic aims to cover a wide range of topics related to the interaction between nutrition and exercise, including recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage, the impact of different nutrients on muscle recovery, nutrient timing, dietary interventions to enhance recovery, and the role of nutrition in optimizing exercise performance and adaptation.
We welcome original research, reviews, and meta-analyses that address the role of nutrition in muscle metabolic recovery after exercise. Potential sub-topics include but are not limited to:
? The impact of protein quantity and quality on muscle recovery after exercise
? Nutrient timing and its effect on muscle recovery
? The role of carbohydrate and fat in supporting muscle recovery
? How inflammatory markers, either measured in skeletal muscle or the systemic circulation, would be affected by various nutritional supplements after acute bouts of exercise (in particular exercise induced muscle damage).
? The impact of specific nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and creatine, on muscle recovery after exercise
? Effects of nutrition and exercise interventions on muscle recovery
? The impact of nutrition on exercise performance and muscle adaptations
? The translation of nutrition research into practical recommendations for athletes and active individuals.
