About this Research Topic
The nutritional habits of athletes are essential for health and performance throughout a season, as they also allow for adequate body composition and a correct supply of micronutrients.
However, there is insufficient data available to assess athletes' nutritional intake, energy, and macronutrient needs.
Also, there is a lack of sufficient information on eating patterns and nutritional supplementation to meet the needs of athletes.
The goal of this Research Topic in Frontiers in Nutrition is to highlight new research in athlete nutrition. Reviews and original research studies are welcome that consider novel approaches and identify knowledge gaps. Submissions are also encouraged that explore the impact of nutrition throughout the season in different sports and athletes.
• Adjusting the ratio of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins in athletes.
• Benefits of macronutrients in physical performance.
• Special dietary regimens for athletes.
• Nutritional supplementation in sport.
