| Curcumin Muscle Damage Meta-Analysis | () found that New Zealand blackcurrant extract alleviated muscle soreness 24–48 h post-exercise, accelerated the recovery of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), and resulted in lower CK levels at 96 h. | 1 | Hu Xuanming (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 Muscle Damage Meta-Analysis | () observed reduced pain at 48–72 h post-exercise, recent systematic reviews still conclude that the evidence regarding its effects on muscle damage, inflammation, subjective recovery, and functional performance exhibits marked heterogeneity. | 1 | Hu Xuanming (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 Muscle Damage Meta-Analysis | 8 10 8 12 14 At the level of evidence synthesis, several traditional meta-analyses have attempted to summarize the overall effects of polyphenols on EIMD recovery; however, they present two core methodological limitations (–). | 1 | Hu Xuanming (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 Muscle Damage Meta-Analysis | 1 2 Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is a common physiological response following strenuous or unaccustomed exercise. | 1 | Hu Xuanming (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 Muscle Damage 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 Muscle Damage 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 Muscle Damage 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 Muscle Damage 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. |
