Abstract in brief

  • The article discusses the growing visibility of veganism through social media and its increasing acceptance in sports and fitness, but highlights a lack of specific guidance on how to manage vegan diets for athletic performance.
  • It identifies nutritional challenges for vegan athletes, such as ensuring adequate intake of energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals like B12, iron, calcium, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, but suggests that with proper food choices and supplementation, a healthy vegan diet can meet most athletic needs.
  • The article emphasizes the need for further research on vegan diets in athletic populations, particularly on supplement strategies like creatine and alanine, to optimize health and performance as veganism potentially grows in popularity among athletes.]

@DrJesseMorse @NFL_DiMatteo @DomiNateFF @DrZSportsDoc @jessdeede I suspect that when your food choices are restricted, it may require more thought and planning to ensure you reach your physiologic needs based on activity, but there’s no data to support that being vegan by itself equals slower rates of healing https://t.co/j2vgEBwv5V
