Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Exercise of various intensities, including marathons, triathlons, and cycling competitions, affects the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) by eliciting gut dysmotility symptoms. However, the mechanisms are still unknown. One hypothesis is that the redistribution of blood flow causes gastrointestinal ischemia, mechanical forces, changes in gastrointestinal mucosal activity, neuroendocrine changes, and stress. It is estimated that 30–90% of distance runners presented many symptoms, such as vomiting, nausea, heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux, diarrhea, stool bleeding, and more frequent bowel movements. High-intensity exercise decreases gastric emptying, while low-intensity exercise such as walking (at 28, 41, and 56% of VO2 max) and running (at 57 and 65% VO2 max) accelerate it. This Special Issue aims to bring together a collection of papers that evaluate the effects of physical exercise and nutritional approach on gastrointestinal pathophysiology in health and illness. We welcome the submission of manuscripts including, but not limited to, the following topics: exercise, nutrition on gastrointestinal motility and intestinal permeability; microbiota, nutrition, and exercise; exercise, nutrition, and gastrointestinal pathophysiology; exercise, supplemental nutrition, and gastrointestinal pathophysiology.
