Summary: This study aimed to determine the daily protein requirements of female and male endurance athletes in a home-based setting using noninvasive stable isotope methodology. The results indicated that consuming a daily protein intake of approximately 1.85 g/kg maximizes whole-body protein synthesis during postexercise recovery, regardless of sex.

Summary: This review examines the impact of polyphenol consumption on muscle recovery in team sport athletes. It suggests that polyphenols may have a positive effect on recovery after exercise-induced muscle damage, but the certainty of these effects in both females and males remains moderate to very low. Further research, particularly in females, is needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: Protein hydrolysates, which are part of the food formula, can regulate the texture and functionality of food in various forms. The relationship between the physicochemical and structural characteristics of protein hydrolysates and their functional properties is of significant importance. This Review provides an explanation of this relationship and the interaction between protein hydrolysates and the main ingredients of food, serving as a reference for their development and further research.

Summary: The study aimed to analyze and compare the diet and use of sports supplements in padel players according to their competition level and sex. A total of 123 players participated in the study, with 94 men and 29 women. Differences were found in diet type between competition levels and in the number of supplements consumed between male and female players. It is important for nutrition specialists to advise and guide players in controlling their diets and supplement intake.

Summary: Sports participation carries risks, and combat sports are particularly prone to injuries, with the head and neck being the most commonly injured body regions. Proper nutrition plays a significant role in injury prevention and promoting recovery, with specific attention given to amino acids, antioxidants, creatine, and omega-3 for their therapeutic effects. This review explores the various nutritional strategies to reduce injury risk, improve treatment and rehabilitation in combat sports, including considerations for muscle, joint, and bone injuries, sports-related concussions, and the risks of rapid weight loss.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between energy availability (EA) and macronutrient intake with performance, anthropometric characteristics, blood markers, training volume, and risk of low energy availability (LEA) in young female cross-country skiers. The results showed that body fat percentage (F%) and training volume were the most important factors explaining performance. Additionally, lower carbohydrate intake and EA increased the risk of LEA. These findings highlight the importance of adequate nutritional intake for supporting performance and overall health.
