Cocoa Flavanol Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialGrowing 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 [].3Fazekas-Pongor Vince (2026)Physiological and Recovery Responses to Dietary Polyphenols in the Context of Exercise: Relevance for Muscle Aging and Sarcopenia
Cocoa Flavanol Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialThis 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.3Fazekas-Pongor Vince (2026)Physiological and Recovery Responses to Dietary Polyphenols in the Context of Exercise: Relevance for Muscle Aging and Sarcopenia
Cocoa Flavanol Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialThe 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.3Fazekas-Pongor Vince (2026)Physiological and Recovery Responses to Dietary Polyphenols in the Context of Exercise: Relevance for Muscle Aging and Sarcopenia
