“…Nutrient periodization, aligned with the diverse demands of different training phases and competition schedules, empowers athletes to strategically adjust their nutrient intake for optimized performance outcomes [ 95 ]. The triad of pre-, intra-, and post-exercise nutrition assumes pivotal significance in nutrient timing strategies, tailoring nutrition to fuel physical exertion, maintain energy levels, and initiate the recovery process [ 209 ]. Synchronizing dietary practices with the ever-changing requirements of an athlete’s training and competition cycles ensures the right nutrients are delivered at the right times, maximizing efficacy for both immediate and long-term performance benefits [ 210 ].…”

The dietary practices of athletes play a crucial role in shaping their body composition, influencing sports performance, training adaptations, and overall health. However, despite the widely acknowledged significance of dietary intake in athletic success, there exists a gap in our understanding of the intricate relationships between nutrition, body composition, and performance. Furthermore, emerging evidence suggests that many athletes fail to adopt optimal nutritional practices, which can impede their potential achievements. In response, this Special Issue seeks to gather research papers that delve into athletes’ dietary practices and their potential impacts on body composition and sports performance. Additionally, studies focusing on interventions aimed at optimizing dietary habits are encouraged. This paper outlines the key aspects and points that will be developed in the ensuing articles of this Special Issue.

“…Providing access to water and food during long duration, chronic exercise is advisable to avoid dehydration and fatigue. 196,197 If a concern, weights should be monitored before and after exercise. If >2% of body weight is lost during training, the exercise protocol should be modified.…”

Acute and chronic animal models of exercise are commonly used in research. Acute exercise testing is used, often in combination with genetic, pharmacological, or other manipulations, to study the impact of these manipulations on the cardiovascular response to exercise and to detect impairments or improvements in cardiovascular function that may not be evident at rest. Chronic exercise conditioning models are used to study the cardiac phenotypic response to regular exercise training and as a platform for discovery of novel pathways mediating cardiovascular benefits conferred by exercise conditioning that could be exploited therapeutically. The cardiovascular benefits of exercise are well established, and, frequently, molecular manipulations that mimic the pathway changes induced by exercise recapitulate at least some of its benefits. This review discusses approaches for assessing cardiovascular function during an acute exercise challenge in rodents, as well as practical and conceptual considerations in the use of common rodent exercise conditioning models. The case for studying feeding in the Burmese python as a model for exercise-like physiological adaptation is also explored.

“…In general, the water needs of athletes tend to vary according to individual characteristics and the type or intensity of exercise in which they participate, making individualized fluid replacement strategies necessary [ 102 , 103 ]. This should result in both preventing adverse effects and improving the performance of athletes [ 104 ] and maintaining proper hydration during exercise [ 105 ]. Athletes participating in endurance and ultra-endurance races should be aware that both prior acclimatization to race weather conditions and adequate fluid–electrolyte balance reduce the risk of dehydration and thus the risk of EAH [ 106 ].…”

“…However, this heat dissipation is accompanied by typical fluid losses of 0.5–1.9 L/h according to Baker and colleagues [ 110 ]. Thus, the goals are to improve athlete performance, maintain proper hydration during exercise, prevent adverse effects (dehydration-hyperhydration) and avoid losses greater than 2–3% of body mass during exercise [ 104 , 105 ]. Dehydration causes a loss of intracellular and extracellular (plasma and interstitial) fluid in proportion to water loss, compromising cardiovascular function, reducing muscle blood flow and cardiac output [ 111 ].…”

The majority of reviews on sports nutrition issues focus on macronutrients, often omitting or paying less attention to substances such as sodium. Through the literature, it is clear that there are no reviews that focus entirely on the effects of sodium and in particular on endurance sports. Sodium intake, both at high and low doses, has been found to be associated with health and performance issues in athletes. Besides, there have been theories that an electrolyte imbalance, specifically sodium, contributes to the development of muscle cramps (EAMC) and hyponatremia (EAH). For this reason, it is necessary to create this systematic review, in order to report extensively on the role of sodium consumption in the population and more specifically in endurance and ultra-endurance athletes, the relationship between the amount consumed and the occurrence of pathological disorders, the usefulness of simultaneous hydration and whether a disturbance of this substance leads to EAH and EAMC. As a method of data collection, this study focused on exploring literature from 2000–2021. The search was conducted through the research engines PubMed and Scopus. In order to reduce the health and performance effects in endurance athletes, simultaneous emphasis should be placed on both sodium and fluid intake.
