“…Potassium, on the other hand, helps reduce the amount of lactic acid that is stored in the muscles, reducing the occurrence of cramps in athletes, and is also involved in the breakdown of carbohydrates, keeping energy levels high during physical activity, especially if intense [166,167]. In order not to provide too high a dose of the amounts of these two minerals, according to WHO guidelines, adults should not exceed 2000 mg sodium/day (Na) and have a minimum dose of 3510 mg potassium/day, as they are directly related [167][168][169]. The recommended dietary amount of magnesium is between 400 and 420 mg/day for males and between 310 and 320 mg/day for females [164].…”

Competition between athletes and an increase in sporting knowledge have greatly influenced training methods while increasing the number of them more and more. As a result, the number of athletes who have increased the number and intensity of their workouts while decreasing recovery times is rising. Positive overtraining could be considered a natural and fundamental process when the result is adaptation and improved performance; however, in the absence of adequate recovery, negative overtraining could occur, causing fatigue, maladaptation, and inertia. One of the earliest forms of fatigue is overreaching. It is considered to be an accumulation of training that leads to reduced sports performance, requiring days or weeks to recover. Overreaching, if followed by adequate recovery, can lead to an increase in athletic performance. Nonetheless, if overreaching becomes extreme, combined with additional stressors, it could lead to overtraining syndrome (OTS). OTS, caused by systemic inflammation, leads to central nervous system (CNS) effects, including depressed mood, further inflammation, central fatigue, and ultimately neurohormonal changes. There are therefore not only physiological, biochemical, and immunological but also psychological symptoms or markers that must be considered, independently or together, being intrinsically linked with overtraining, to fully understand OTS. However, to date, there are very few published studies that have analyzed how nutrition in its specific food aspects, if compromised during OTS, can be both etiology and consequence of the syndrome. To date, OTS has not yet been fully studied, and the topic needs further research. The purpose of this narrative review is therefore to study how a correct diet and nutrition can influence OTS in all its aspects, from prevention to treatment.

“…It is a required nutrient for human health and is necessary for many physiological processes [ 293 ]. Adults should not exceed the consumption of 2000 mg sodium/day (Na) or 5 g of salt and have a minimum dose of 3510 mg potassium/day, according to new guidelines established by the WHO [ 14 , 281 ]. It has a crucial role in muscle contractions and helps the body regulate fluid balance, blood pressure, and the heart rate [ 281 ].…”

“…Negative energy balance due to increased or decreased calorie intake or a combination of both is a powerful disruptor of the endocrine milieu [ 123 ]. Additionally, it was associated with increased fatigue and mental disorders [ 14 ], reduced fertility, poor bone quality, a higher likelihood of sports injuries, endothelial dysfunction, a poor lipid profile, gastrointestinal disturbances, inflammatory processes, psychiatric conditions (such as emotional state changes/irritability), and poor athletic performance [ 93 , 108 , 154 , 314 ].…”

The aim of this systematic review is twofold: (i) to examine the effects of micronutrient intake on athletic performance and (ii) to determine the specific micronutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, that offer the most significant enhancements in terms of athletic performance, with the goal of providing guidance to athletes and coaches in optimizing their nutritional strategies. The study conducted a systematic search of electronic databases (i.e., PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus) using keywords pertaining to micronutrients, athletic performance, and exercise. The search involved particular criteria of studies published in English between 1950 and 2023. The findings suggest that vitamins and minerals are crucial for an athlete’s health and physical performance, and no single micronutrient is more important than others. Micronutrients are necessary for optimal metabolic body’s functions such as energy production, muscle growth, and recovery, which are all important for sport performance. Meeting the daily intake requirement of micronutrients is essential for athletes, and while a balanced diet that includes healthy lean protein sources, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables is generally sufficient, athletes who are unable to meet their micronutrient needs due to malabsorption or specific deficiencies may benefit from taking multivitamin supplements. However, athletes should only take micronutrient supplements with the consultation of a specialized physician or nutritionist and avoid taking them without confirming a deficiency.
