The Journal of Sport and Health Research has just published another scientific paper. This
time the paper is a basic review about resveratrol.
ABSTRACT
Objectives: To systematically review the
literature to identify possible indications for Resveratrol in sports and
exercise medicine and suggest future avenues of research.
Methods: Literature was identified,
selected and appraised with the methods of a systemic review. Potentially
relevant publications to answer the research question were identified by
searching the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar and
Ovid.
Results: Originally 962 articles were
identified, of which five were found to be appropriate for inclusion in the
review. 4 of them were experimental animal studies with in-vivo and ex-vivo
analysis and one was a double-blind, placebo controlled cross-over study with
human subjects. 3of the four animal studies showed an endurance enhancement of
the mice treated with Resveratrol. All of the animal studies showed basic
changes to support the hypothesis of a possible performance enhancement due to
cellular changes and possible additional improvement of effects of exercise combined
with Resveratrol treatment.
Conclusion: Resveratrol as a food
supplement in sports and exercise medicine has not received much attention,
despite strong basic scientific evidence that this substance could have
multiple indications related to high performance sports as well as enhancement
of the health benefits of exercise for the general population.
Keywords: Performance, health benefits, humans, fat burning.
