However, due to the unique metabolic adaptations of athletes, exercise-specific nutritional requirements, and enhanced gastrointestinal sensitivity caused by intensive training and competition, the evidence for their application and in-depth mechanism remains limited. This review synthesizes current evidence on the effects of DF and high-DF diets on BW regulation and lipid metabolism in athletic populations. Emerging data indicate that athletes exhibit unique lipid metabolic phenotypes and gut microbial compositions relative to non-athletic individuals\u2014factors that may modulate their physiological responses to DF interventions. Studies conducted specifically in athletes suggest that DF supplementation and high-DF diets\u2014including the vegetarian diet and the Mediterranean diet\u2014may support favorable changes in body composition and lipid-related biomarkers. Nevertheless, these benefits appear to be moderated by sport discipline, biological sex, and interindividual variability in metabolic and gastrointestinal physiology. Critically, excessive or poorly timed DF intake\u2014particularly during intense training blocks or immediately before or during competition\u2014may exacerbate gastrointestinal discomfort and impair energy availability, thereby potentially compromising performance. Consequently, the integration of DF into athletic nutrition strategies necessitates individualized consideration of fiber type, dosage, timing of ingestion, fermentability, and gastrointestinal tolerance. Future research should prioritize rigorously designed longitudinal studies and randomized controlled trials employing standardized DF interventions and outcome assessments. Comprehensive evaluation\u2014including metabolic parameters, markers of energy availability, gastrointestinal symptomatology, and microbiome profiling\u2014will be essential to inform evidence-based, personalized DF recommendations aligned with athletes\u2019 training phases and metabolic profiles.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu18172832","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]],"date-time":"2026-08-28T18:33:52Z","timestamp":1787942032000},"page":"2832","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Effects of Dietary Fiber and High-Dietary-Fiber Diets on Body Weight Regulation and Lipid Metabolism in Athletes: A Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Fantao","family":"Fang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Education, Guangzhou Sport University, Guangzhou 510500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tingting","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Exercise and Health, Guangzhou Sport University, Guangzhou 510500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yonglin","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Exercise and Health, Guangzhou Sport University, Guangzhou 510500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manjiang","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Exercise and Health, Guangzhou Sport University, Guangzhou 510500, China"},{"name":"Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Human Sports Performance Science, Guangzhou Sport University, Guangzhou 510500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Boling","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Exercise and Health, Guangzhou Sport University, Guangzhou 510500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhenwei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Exercise and Health, Guangzhou Sport University, Guangzhou 510500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhuixin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Education, Guangzhou Sport University, Guangzhou 510500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9602-9910","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yu-Heng","family":"Mao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Exercise and Health, Guangzhou Sport University, Guangzhou 510500, China"},{"name":"Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Human Sports Performance Science, Guangzhou Sport University, Guangzhou 510500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"816","DOI":"10.1017\/S0007114516002610","article-title":"Re-Evaluation of the Mechanisms of Dietary Fibre and Implications for Macronutrient Bioaccessibility, Digestion and Postprandial Metabolism","volume":"116","author":"Grundy","year":"2016","journal-title":"Br.
