Changes in Nutritional Status and Sport-Specific Performance During Ramadan in Adolescent Male Volleyball Players: A Prospective Cohort Study

Background/Objectives: Many adolescent athletes fast during Ramadan, similar to adults. However, research on Ramadan fasting during adolescence, a critical period for growth and development, is insufficient. This study aimed to examine changes in nutritional status and sport-specific performance during Ramadan in adolescent volleyball players and to explore whether these changes differed by Ramadan fasting adherence.
