| Pomegranate Exercise Recovery Randomized Trial | 1 2 3 4 5 Exercise-induced oxidative stress is well established in sports nutrition research, yet the exact roles of reactive oxygen species and antioxidative biomarkers remain controversial. | 2 | Gassner Markus (2025) | Acute Impact of Polyphenol-Rich vs. Carbohydrate-Rich Foods and Beverages on Exercise-Induced ROS and FRAP in Healthy Sedentary Female Adults—A Randomized Controlled Trial |
| Pomegranate Exercise Recovery Randomized Trial | Background Volleyball demands frequent explosive, stretch-shortening muscle actions that elevate the risk for exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). | 4 | Rezaei G (2026) | Individual responses to pomegranate juice on recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage in collegiate male volleyball players. |
| Pomegranate Exercise Recovery Randomized Trial | Polyphenol-rich pomegranate juice (POMj) has been proposed to aid recovery, yet evidence in highly trained team-sport athletes is limited. | 4 | Rezaei G (2026) | Individual responses to pomegranate juice on recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage in collegiate male volleyball players. |
| Pomegranate Exercise Recovery Randomized Trial | Results ANOVA revealed a significant main effect of time for most variables ( p -1 significantly improved from baseline within the POMj ( p = 0.002), this recovery was not statistically superior to that of the PLA ( p = 1.000). | 4 | Rezaei G (2026) | Individual responses to pomegranate juice on recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage in collegiate male volleyball players. |
