ISSN Exercise & Sport Nutrition Review: Research & Recommendations

Sport nutrition is a constantly evolving field with literally thousands of research papers published annually. For this reason, keeping up to date with the literature is often difficult. This paper presents a well-referenced overview of the current state of the science related to how to optimize training through nutrition. More specifically, this article discusses: 1.) how to evaluate the scientific merit of nutritional supplements; 2.) general nutritional strategies to optimize performance and enhance recovery; and, 3.) our current understanding of the available science behind weight gain, weight loss, and performance enhancement supplements. Our hope is that ISSN members find this review useful in their daily practice and consultation with their clients.

Interesting article. It was easy to read and a good update (I've been away for awhile).

Muscle building supplements:
ZMA - too early to tell
Chromium - apparently ineffective

Weight loss supplements:
Chromium - apparently ineffective

And I was just wondering whether to continue chromium supplementation. Hmm...
