Abstract

Context: Despite the progress toward gender equality in events like the OlympicGames and other institutionalized competitions, and the rising number of womenengaging in physical exercise programs, scientific studies focused on establishingspecific nutritional recommendations for female athletes and other physicallyactive women are scarce. Objective: This systematic review aimed to compile thescientific evidence available for addressing the question “What dietary strategies,including dietary and supplementation approaches, can improve sports performance, recovery, and health status in female athletes and other physically activewomen?” Data Sources: The Pubmed, Web of Science, and Scopus databaseswere searched. Data Extraction: The review process involved a comprehensivesearch strategy using keywords connected by Boolean connectors. Data extractedfrom the selected studies included information on the number of participants andtheir characteristics related to sport practice, age, and menstrual function. DataAnalysis: A total of 71 studies were included in this review: 17 focused on theanalysis of dietary manipulation, and 54 focused on the effects of dietary supplementation. The total sample size was 1654 participants (32.5% categorized ascompetitive athletes, 30.7% as highly/moderately trained, and 37.2% as physicallyactive/recreational athletes). The risk of bias was considered moderate, mainly forreasons such as a lack of access to the study protocol, insufficient description ofhow the hormonal phase during the menstrual cycle was controlled for, inadequate dietary control during the intervention, or a lack of blinding of the researchers. Conclusion: Diets with high carbohydrate (CHO) content enhanceperformance in activities that induce muscle glycogen depletion. In addition, preexercise meals with a high glycemic index or rich in CHOs increase CHO metabolism. Ingestion of 5–6 protein meals interspersed throughout the day, with eachintake exceeding 25 g of protein favors anabolism of muscle proteins. Dietary supplements taken to enhance performance, such as caffeine, nitric oxide precursors,b-alanine, and certain sport foods supplements (such as CHOs, proteins, or theircombination, and micronutrients in cases of nutritional deficiencies), may positivelyinfluence sports performance and/or the health status of female athletes and otherphysically active women
