| Dark Chocolate Exercise Performance Randomized Trial | While DC has been associated with various health benefits, its specific impact on endurance performance, particularly VO 2max , has not been conclusively established. | 1 | Mehdipour A (2025) | Response of VO<sub>2max</sub> to dark chocolate consumption in healthy subjects: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. |
| Dark Chocolate Exercise Performance Randomized Trial | In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests that DC consumption does not significantly improve VO 2max in healthy individuals. | 1 | Mehdipour A (2025) | Response of VO<sub>2max</sub> to dark chocolate consumption in healthy subjects: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. |
| Dark Chocolate Exercise Performance Randomized Trial | The potential role of dark chocolate (DC) in enhancing exercise performance remains underexplored. | 1 | Mehdipour A (2025) | Response of VO<sub>2max</sub> to dark chocolate consumption in healthy subjects: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. |
| Dark Chocolate Exercise Performance Randomized Trial | Introduction Olfactory stimuli may alter appetite, affective responses, and exercise performance through psychobiological processes. | 4 | Fan X (2026) | Chocolate odor enhances resistance exercise performance through appetite suppression in the fasted state: an exploratory study. |
| Dark Chocolate Exercise Performance Randomized Trial | However, whether odor-induced changes in appetite and pleasantness translate into measurable improvements in resistance exercise performance remains unclear. | 4 | Fan X (2026) | Chocolate odor enhances resistance exercise performance through appetite suppression in the fasted state: an exploratory study. |
