Background/Objectives: Athletic performance matters for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Scientific dietary intervention may boost athletic performance alongside training. Intermittent fasting, like time-restricted fasting (TF), may enhance metabolic health. NAD+ supplement nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) improves mitochondrial activity. Both potentially boost athletic performance. However, whether TF combined with NMN treatment can further enhance athletic ability is unclear. Methods: Healthy Kunming mice were utilized to test the effects of NMN and TF on the athletic performance of mice. To simulate the in vivo state and further verify the role of TF and NMN, low glucose combined with NMN was used to intervene in C2C12 cells. The exercise capacity of mice was evaluated through motor behavior experiments. At the same time, blood gas analysis and kit tests were used to assess oxygen uptake capacity and post-exercise oxidative stress levels. Muscle development and mitochondrial function were examined through gene expression, protein analysis, and enzyme activity tests, and the distribution of intestinal microbiota and short-chain fatty acid content were also analyzed. Results: The results show that TF combined with NMN improved mitochondrial dynamics and biosynthesis, mitochondrial respiratory function, and oxidative metabolism. Then, the intervention enhanced mice’s endurance, limb strength, motor coordination, and balance and reduced oxidative damage after exercise. Moreover, TF combined with NMN significantly increased the gut microbiota diversity and upregulated Ruminococcus, Roseburia, and Akkermansia in intestinal bacteria and short-chain fatty acids, which are associated with athletic performance. Conclusion: TF combined with NMN enhanced mitochondrial function, improved energy metabolism, modulated the gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids, and affected muscle fiber transformation, ultimately leading to an overall improvement in exercise performance. These findings provide a theoretical framework for expanding the application of NMN and TF in kinesiology.
