Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Maintaining skeletal muscle is critical to the sustenance of healthy life. Skeletal muscle is the major metabolic tissue responsible for maintaining independent living as well as preventing or recovering from various metabolic diseases. Further, having a greater proportion of skeletal muscle to total body mass is associated with an increase in quality of daily living and survival. While a number of studies have reported the importance of a healthy diet and physical activity in skeletal muscle health, there is a need to enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of specific nutritional administration and exercise intervention strategies to promote skeletal muscle health in various populations. Therefore, the purpose of this Special Issue on ‘Nutritional Supplements, Exercise Interventions, and Skeletal Muscle Health’ is to advance our knowledge concerning how specific nutritional supplements and exercise interventions can improve skeletal muscle health in various populations. This Special Issue welcomes research articles that address the association between nutrition and exercise intervention with skeletal muscle disorders.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Menopause is a condition associated with an increased risk of dysregulation in cardiovascular and metabolic health among older women. While fish oil (FO) has garnered great attention for its health-enhancing properties, its potential for enhancing cardiometabolic health in this demographic remains to be established. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical efficacy of an 8 wk administration of FO combined with programmed resistance exercise training (RET) on physical function and risk factors associated with cardiometabolic health in healthy older women. Twenty, healthy, older women were randomly assigned to one of the two experimental groups: resistance training with placebo (RET-PL) or RET with fish oil (RET-FO). Physical function, blood pressure (BP), triglyceride (TG), and systemic inflammation and oxidative stress biomarkers were assessed before and after the intervention. Statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05. Physical function was greatly enhanced in both RET and RET-FO. Handgrip strength substantially increased only in RET-FO. RET-FO exhibited significant decreases in BP, TG, inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6), and oxidative stress (MDA and 8-OHdG) levels, while no detectable changes were found in RET-PL. Our findings indicate that FO administration during 8 wks of RET appears to enhance muscle function and lower risk factors linked to cardiometabolic disorders in postmenopausal women. Full article
