Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy balance and its ensuing effects have a pivotal role in physical and mental health, Exercise capacity and recreational and competitive sports performance have been well documented in the literature in relation to energy balance. The nutritional status of a person and/or an athlete in conjunction with their level of energy expenditure from daily activities and primarily exercise training can determine a person’s health and adaptations to exercise. Despite the abundant scientific evidence in the research literature on the importance of energy balance and nutritional statuses on exercise capacity and training, a comprehensive understanding of the effects of dysregulated energy expenditure on physical activity and sports performance is still lacking. On the one hand, chronic imbalances of positive energy intake and lowered energy expenditure in the general population are known to lead to excess fat storage, obesity and limitations in exercise participation and adherence. On the other hand, a long-term negative energy balance via extreme energy expenditure and limited energy intake in competitive athletes can accentuate the physical and mental challenges that athletes experience, and adversely affect immunity, health status and wellbeing.
