| Cocoa Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | While DC has been associated with various health benefits, its specific impact on endurance performance, particularly VO 2max , has not been conclusively established. | 1 | Mehdipour A (2025) | Response of VO<sub>2max</sub> to dark chocolate consumption in healthy subjects: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. |
| Cocoa Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests that DC consumption does not significantly improve VO 2max in healthy individuals. | 1 | Mehdipour A (2025) | Response of VO<sub>2max</sub> to dark chocolate consumption in healthy subjects: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. |
| Cocoa Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | The potential role of dark chocolate (DC) in enhancing exercise performance remains underexplored. | 1 | Mehdipour A (2025) | Response of VO<sub>2max</sub> to dark chocolate consumption in healthy subjects: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. |
| Cocoa Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | Growing evidence indicates that these bioactive compounds can modulate intracellular signaling pathways and induce adaptive cellular responses, including mechanisms consistent with mitohormesis, thereby enhancing cellular stress resistance and metabolic flexibility []. | 3 | Fazekas-Pongor Vince (2026) | Physiological and Recovery Responses to Dietary Polyphenols in the Context of Exercise: Relevance for Muscle Aging and Sarcopenia |
| Cocoa Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | This overlap raises the possibility that factors influencing recovery responses may have relevance for aging muscle, although direct clinical evidence supporting this translational link is still limited. | 3 | Fazekas-Pongor Vince (2026) | Physiological and Recovery Responses to Dietary Polyphenols in the Context of Exercise: Relevance for Muscle Aging and Sarcopenia |
| Cocoa Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | The present narrative review synthesizes and critically interprets evidence on the physiological and recovery-related effects of dietary polyphenols in the context of exercise and skeletal muscle function, examining their potential translational relevance for muscle aging and sarcopenia. | 3 | Fazekas-Pongor Vince (2026) | Physiological and Recovery Responses to Dietary Polyphenols in the Context of Exercise: Relevance for Muscle Aging and Sarcopenia |
