Creatine Sleep Quality Meta-AnalysisClinically, EIMD is commonly reflected by delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), elevated circulating creatine kinase (CK), and reduced neuromuscular performance [].1Hou Chunlin (2026)Acute and Delayed Effects of Post-Exercise Recovery Strategies on Explosive Performance and Markers of Muscle Damage: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis
Creatine Sleep Quality Meta-AnalysisMassage and cryotherapy have been associated with reductions in DOMS and fatigue [], and massage has also shown favourable effects on short-term recovery of performance [].1Hou Chunlin (2026)Acute and Delayed Effects of Post-Exercise Recovery Strategies on Explosive Performance and Markers of Muscle Damage: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis
Creatine Sleep Quality Meta-AnalysisAs a result, interventions that are beneficial immediately after exercise may not retain their effects during delayed recovery.1Hou Chunlin (2026)Acute and Delayed Effects of Post-Exercise Recovery Strategies on Explosive Performance and Markers of Muscle Damage: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis
Creatine Sleep Quality Meta-Analysis1 2 1 3 High-intensity training and competitive sport can induce exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), characterised by mechanical disruption of sarcomeres, impaired excitation-contraction coupling, and a subsequent inflammatory response [,].1Hou Chunlin (2026)Acute and Delayed Effects of Post-Exercise Recovery Strategies on Explosive Performance and Markers of Muscle Damage: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis
Creatine Sleep Quality Meta-AnalysisMelatonin significantly reduced creatine kinase levels (SMD = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.29 to 0.89, p I 2 = 0%), with non-significant effects on lactate dehydrogenase (SMD = 0.45, 95% CI: -0.03 to 0.94, p = 0.07, I 2 = 56%).1Guo J (2026)Timing-dependent effects of melatonin supplementation on exercise performance and exercise-induced muscle damage: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Creatine Sleep Quality Meta-AnalysisConclusion These findings suggest that melatonin supplementation, particularly when administered in the evening with adequate timing intervals, enhances endurance performance and reduces exercise-induced muscle damage in athletes during intensive training periods.1Guo J (2026)Timing-dependent effects of melatonin supplementation on exercise performance and exercise-induced muscle damage: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Creatine Sleep Quality Meta-AnalysisBackground Melatonin, an endogenous neurohormone with both chronobiotic and antioxidant properties, has been proposed as a nutritional aid for recovery and performance optimization.1Guo J (2026)Timing-dependent effects of melatonin supplementation on exercise performance and exercise-induced muscle damage: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Creatine Sleep Quality Meta-AnalysisThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the timing-dependent effects of melatonin supplementation on exercise performance and exercise-induced muscle damage in athletes and physically active individuals.1Guo J (2026)Timing-dependent effects of melatonin supplementation on exercise performance and exercise-induced muscle damage: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
