About this Research Topic
Sporting excellence relies on various factors, including physical ability, training techniques, and crucially, nutritional support. While fundamental, the role of dietary supplements in optimizing sports performance and recovery often remains undervalued. With emerging scientific evidence and advanced technology, understanding the influence of supplements on athletic endurance, strength, and recovery is taking center stage.
This Research Topic aims to delve into the most recent advancements in the realm of dietary supplements in the context of sports performance and recovery. It seeks to shed light on the mechanisms linking certain supplements to improved performance, assess the benefits and risks, and illuminate the potential use of new and innovative supplementation strategies.
We welcome submissions dedicated to:
- Investigating the role of traditional and novel dietary supplements in enhancing sports performance or aiding recovery.
- Assessing the efficacy and safety of dietary supplements in various sports disciplines.
- Exploring the biochemical and physiological mechanisms driving the effects of dietary supplements on athlete performance.
- Evaluating the influence of dietary supplements on injury prevention and recovery in athletes.
- Analyzing personalized supplementation strategies based on athletes' genetic profile, exercise routines, or sport discipline.
- Discussing the ethical considerations and regulations surrounding dietary supplement use in the sporting arena.
We encourage research submissions in the form of original research articles, reviews, brief research reports, case studies, and others accepted by the section. Well-designed studies with dietary supplements showing positive, negative, or null results are invited.
Through this Research Topic, we aim to provide a comprehensive, updated overview of the multifaceted relationship between dietary supplements and athletic performance, thereby aiding coaches, athletes, and sports nutritionists in making informed decisions.
