Journal Guide

Although sport nutrition represents a distinct field of academic and applied work, it receives input from—and makes contributions to—such fields as nutrition, physiology, biochemistry, psychology, clinical medicine, and the sport and exercise sciences. Since its inception, the International Journal of Sport Nutrition provided a forum for those studying sport nutrition from a variety of perspectives. At the same time, exercise biochemists have been studying the metabolic responses and adaptations to physical activity, creating an overlap between the two areas of study. Recognizing the maturity and interdependence of these two scientific disciplines, the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism (IJSNEM) was created. The journal is designed to provide a forum for the publication of both scholarly and applied work relating to the nutritional, biochemical, and molecular aspects of exercise science.IJSNEM publishes original scientific investigations and scholarly reviews offering new insights into sport nutrition and exercise metabolism, as well as articles focusing on the application of the principles of biochemistry, physiology, and nutrition to sport and exercise. Original research with human subjects will be emphasized, although relevant research with experimental animals may be submitted. Case studies that demonstrate systematic, rather than casual, observation made with appropriate instrumentation, and articles with clinical application will be included. The journal will continue to offer editorials, digests of related articles from other fields, research notes, and reviews of books, videos, and other media releases.

View a list of the latest free articles available from International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics The International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics has three inter-related aims: to stimulate scholarly debate about the role, significance and impact of public policy on sport to encourage critical analysis of sport policy and the sport policy process to publish articles that are theoretically rigorous and of interest to both scholars and practitioners Editorial StatementThe International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics aims to publish articles that address all aspects of sport policy irrespective of academic discipline. Articles that adopt a multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary or comparative approach are particularly welcome. The Editorial Board is especially keen to encourage the submission of articles that cover one or more of the following five broad themes: theoretical contributions to analyses of the policy process for sport which draw upon and develop current macro and meso level theories and analytic frameworks the development of robust, evidence-based empirical research on the impact of sport policy the role and influence of national and sub-national government in relation to sport policy. At the national/federal government level this would include both the utilisation of sport to achieve a range of non-sport objectives such as those related to economic, social, cultural and diplomatic objectives as well as policy focused more sharply on sport outcomes such as improved elite performance and increased participation. At sub-national/local level this theme would include the use of sport to help fulfil community social and economic objectives as well as the role of regional and local government in providing sport opportunities. the significance of government, for example as regulator, resource provider and competitor, for the operation of commercial, semi-commercial, and not-for-profit/voluntary clubs, leagues and national sports organisations/national governing bodies, and the development activities of these organisations. the role of transnational government organisations, such as the EU, the World Anti-Doping Agency, UNESCO, Council of Europe, and NGOs, such as the International Olympic Committee and the major international federations, in relation, for example, to the regulation and development of sport. "Sport policy is assuming greater importance at local, regional, national and international levels. There is increasing recognition of the social and economic benefits of sport and policies and government initiatives to exploit these benefits are being implemented and monitored. Sports events are increasingly being supported by governments at local, regional and national levels. Other government policies and laws impact directly on sport, such as child protection, the education curriculum, and government expenditure. The time is therefore right for the International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics - which will help in the process of exploring the way sport policy is constructed and delivered, and its effects on relevant communities."Peter Taylor, Sheffield Hallam University, UK8220;This is a much needed journal. The knowledge produced in the sports sciences seldom reaches decision-makers in forms they can use to identify issues, consider a full range of policy alternatives, and assess current and past policies.International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics provides a forum for presenting issues and research-based discussions that will lead to more fully and critically informed policy decisions at all levels of sport organization.8221;Jay Coakley, University of Colorado, USADisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.
