Curcumin Muscle Recovery Meta-AnalysisPolyphenols have been proposed as a nutritional strategy to modulate these responses; however, evidence in soccer players is limited and heterogeneous.1Silva Díaz V (2026)Effect of Polyphenol Supplementation on Post-Exercise Recovery in Adult Male Soccer Players: A Systematic Review.
Curcumin Muscle Recovery Meta-AnalysisThis systematic review aimed to synthesize the evidence on the effects of polyphenol supplementation on post-exercise recovery in adult male soccer players.1Silva Díaz V (2026)Effect of Polyphenol Supplementation on Post-Exercise Recovery in Adult Male Soccer Players: A Systematic Review.
Curcumin Muscle Recovery Meta-AnalysisEvidence was inconsistent for biomarkers of muscle damage, inflammation, and oxidative stress, with most studies reporting no significant differences versus placebo.1Silva Díaz V (2026)Effect of Polyphenol Supplementation on Post-Exercise Recovery in Adult Male Soccer Players: A Systematic Review.
Curcumin Muscle Recovery Meta-AnalysisBackground/Objectives : Soccer involves high physiological demands that induce neuromuscular fatigue, muscle damage, inflammation, and oxidative stress, impairing recovery between training sessions and competitions.1Silva Díaz V (2026)Effect of Polyphenol Supplementation on Post-Exercise Recovery in Adult Male Soccer Players: A Systematic Review.
Curcumin Muscle Recovery Meta-AnalysisThis 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.4Farzana HR (2026)From Macronutrients to Functional Foods: Nutritional Strategies for Recovery Following High-Intensity Exercise.
Curcumin Muscle Recovery Meta-AnalysisFunctional 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.4Farzana HR (2026)From Macronutrients to Functional Foods: Nutritional Strategies for Recovery Following High-Intensity Exercise.
Curcumin Muscle Recovery Meta-AnalysisAmong the functional foods reviewed, tart cherry currently has the strongest supporting evidence for selected recovery outcomes.4Farzana HR (2026)From Macronutrients to Functional Foods: Nutritional Strategies for Recovery Following High-Intensity Exercise.
Curcumin Muscle Recovery Meta-AnalysisHigh-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.4Farzana HR (2026)From Macronutrients to Functional Foods: Nutritional Strategies for Recovery Following High-Intensity Exercise.
