Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A well-balanced diet is one of the key elements supporting physical performance. Meeting the nutritional needs of athletes is crucial during the preparation for exercise and during exercise, as well as during the recovery period. Also, the period of preparation for competition and training, as well as the competition itself, are special periods characterised by specific nutritional needs. Team sports also have their own specificities. Athletes filling different roles on the team may have more or less intense efforts during their sport. Training will also focus on different elements depending on the type of team sport. It is therefore important to study the nutritional status of team athletes, the effect of diet on their physical performance, and to monitor the intake of specific food groups for possible deficiencies and the consequences that follow. This Special Issue aims to bring together papers focusing on the effect of diet on physical activity in team athletes at different periods of the micro- and macrotraining cycle.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
Body composition and anthropometric indices of team athletes, energy expenditure during training and competition, hydration before, during and after exercise, structure of a team athlete's food ration, effect of diet on physical performance, biochemical parameters and physical performance characteristics of athletes, different nutritional needs depending on the moment of the season and the role/position the athlete occupies, the role of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in supporting exercise performance, minerals, vitamins and bioactive compounds in team sports, dietary supplement intake and its potential impact on physical performance and foods for special nutritional use targeted at team sport athletes.
