Description
Summary:[...]the supplement explores the views of sports practitioners as they dealt with the early months of the COVID19 pandemic and the issues surrounding "return to play" for athletes in all sports. The Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI) has been bringing sports nutrition and sports science researchers together for ~ 36 years to discuss many topics relating to the performance and well-being of athletes. Since 2012, these meetings have been known as the GSSI Expert Panel. The first paper in this supplement examines the importance of nutrition during the years of adolescence (13-18 years), which is a period of growth and physical development with changes in body composition, metabolic and hormonal fluctuations, maturation of organ systems, and establishment of nutrient deposits [1]. [...]their protein requirements do not appear vastly different from those of young athletes, although more research is needed in the master athlete population.
