| Curcumin Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | Polyphenol supplementation was associated with a small improvement in pain/soreness ( g = 0.252, 95% CI 0.049-0.454; p = 0.018). | 1 | Hu X (2026) | Effects of polyphenol-rich interventions on the time-course of muscle recovery and athletic performance following exercise-induced muscle damage: a three-level meta-analysis. |
| Curcumin Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | Certainty of evidence was low for muscle damage and performance and very low for pain/soreness and perceptual outcomes. | 1 | Hu X (2026) | Effects of polyphenol-rich interventions on the time-course of muscle recovery and athletic performance following exercise-induced muscle damage: a three-level meta-analysis. |
| Curcumin Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | Conclusion Polyphenol supplementation may modestly reduce post-exercise pain/soreness, but current evidence does not establish consistent improvements in objective recovery, an optimal recovery window, or superiority of any supplementation strategy. | 1 | Hu X (2026) | Effects of polyphenol-rich interventions on the time-course of muscle recovery and athletic performance following exercise-induced muscle damage: a three-level meta-analysis. |
| Curcumin Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | Background Polyphenol-rich interventions are widely used to support recovery after exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), but their effects across outcome domains and recovery periods remain uncertain. | 1 | Hu X (2026) | Effects of polyphenol-rich interventions on the time-course of muscle recovery and athletic performance following exercise-induced muscle damage: a three-level meta-analysis. |
| Curcumin Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | This review aimed to synthesize current evidence on nutritional strategies for recovery following high-intensity exercise, ranging from foundational macronutrients to functional foods and bioactive compounds. | 4 | Farzana HR (2026) | From Macronutrients to Functional Foods: Nutritional Strategies for Recovery Following High-Intensity Exercise. |
| Curcumin Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | Functional foods and bioactive compounds may provide additional benefits as adjunct recovery strategies, although the available evidence varies considerably across exercise models, participant characteristics, supplementation protocols, and recovery outcomes. | 4 | Farzana HR (2026) | From Macronutrients to Functional Foods: Nutritional Strategies for Recovery Following High-Intensity Exercise. |
| Curcumin Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | Among the functional foods reviewed, tart cherry currently has the strongest supporting evidence for selected recovery outcomes. | 4 | Farzana HR (2026) | From Macronutrients to Functional Foods: Nutritional Strategies for Recovery Following High-Intensity Exercise. |
| Curcumin Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | High-intensity exercise improves aerobic and anaerobic performance, neuromuscular function, and sport-specific readiness but may also induce glycogen depletion, exercise-induced muscle damage, muscle soreness, inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, and temporary reductions in subsequent performance. | 4 | Farzana HR (2026) | From Macronutrients to Functional Foods: Nutritional Strategies for Recovery Following High-Intensity Exercise. |
