Watermelon Citrulline Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialPlant-derived whole foods and food-based supplements may support recovery through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, vascular, and metabolic mechanisms; however, the available evidence remains heterogeneous.1Nguyen DHN (2026)Plant-Derived Whole Foods and Food-Based Supplements on Post-Exercise Recovery in Physically Active Individuals: A Systematic Review of Human Intervention Trials.
Watermelon Citrulline Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialRisk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2 tool for randomized trials and ROBINS-I for the non-randomized intervention study.1Nguyen DHN (2026)Plant-Derived Whole Foods and Food-Based Supplements on Post-Exercise Recovery in Physically Active Individuals: A Systematic Review of Human Intervention Trials.
Watermelon Citrulline Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialAmong the 35 randomized trials assessed using RoB 2, 11 were judged to have a low overall risk of bias and 24 raised some concerns; none was judged to have a high overall risk of bias.1Nguyen DHN (2026)Plant-Derived Whole Foods and Food-Based Supplements on Post-Exercise Recovery in Physically Active Individuals: A Systematic Review of Human Intervention Trials.
