Pomegranate Exercise Recovery Systematic ReviewIf these processes are not adequately managed, performance in subsequent sessions may be compromised, and the risk of muscle injury may increase [,,].1Silva Díaz Verónica (2026)Effect of Polyphenol Supplementation on Post-Exercise Recovery in Adult Male Soccer Players: A Systematic Review
Pomegranate Exercise Recovery Systematic ReviewAmong the proposed nutritional strategies, in addition to carbohydrates and proteins, the use of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols has been suggested due to their potential role in modulating inflammatory and oxidative processes associated with fatigue and recovery [].1Silva Díaz Verónica (2026)Effect of Polyphenol Supplementation on Post-Exercise Recovery in Adult Male Soccer Players: A Systematic Review

Pomegranate Exercise Recovery Systematic ReviewBackground Volleyball demands frequent explosive, stretch-shortening muscle actions that elevate the risk for exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS).4Rezaei G (2026)Individual responses to pomegranate juice on recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage in collegiate male volleyball players.
Pomegranate Exercise Recovery Systematic ReviewPolyphenol-rich pomegranate juice (POMj) has been proposed to aid recovery, yet evidence in highly trained team-sport athletes is limited.4Rezaei G (2026)Individual responses to pomegranate juice on recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage in collegiate male volleyball players.
Pomegranate Exercise Recovery Systematic ReviewResults 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).4Rezaei G (2026)Individual responses to pomegranate juice on recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage in collegiate male volleyball players.
