Curcumin is the main phenolic compound in turmeric. It has been investigated recently due to its numerous medicinal properties and health benefits. However, few studies assessed the effects of curcumin supplementation on physical activity practice. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to assess the available evidences with human beings about the potential effects of curcumin supplementation on sport and physical exercise. This systematic review was conducted within the period from January to February, 2019, following the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) guidelines. The LILACS, Medline, SciELO and PubMed databases were used for the search, with no publication date limit. The following terms, with the respective Boolean operators, were searched: "curcumin" AND sports; "curcumin" AND exercise; curcumin AND "aerobic exercise"; "curcumin" AND "resistance exercise"; "curcumin" AND "endurance exercise"; "curcumin" AND "strength exercise". Eleven papers were selected for this review. Most of the studies displayed positive effects of the curcumin supplementation for athletes and physical exercise practitioners, and no side effects were reported. Participants supplemented with curcumin displayed reduced inflammation and oxidative stress, decreased pain and muscle damage, superior recovery and muscle performance, better psychological and physiological responses (thermal and cardiovascular) during training and improved gastrointestinal function. Curcumin supplementation appears to be safe and beneficial for sport and physical exercise in human beings. PROSPERO (CRD42019126763).
姜黄素是姜黄中的主要酚类化合物。由于其具有许多药用特性和健康益处，最近对其进行了研究。然而，很少有研究评估姜黄素补充剂对体育活动实践的影响。因此，本综述的目的是评估人类关于姜黄素补充剂对运动和体育锻炼潜在影响的现有证据。本系统评价是在 2019 年 1 月至 2 月期间，根据系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南的建议进行的。使用 LILACS、Medline、SciELO 和 PubMed 数据库进行搜索，没有发布日期限制。使用以下术语，并使用相应的布尔运算符进行搜索：“姜黄素”和“运动”；“姜黄素”和“运动”；“姜黄素”和“有氧运动”；“姜黄素”和“抗阻运动”；“姜黄素”和“耐力运动”；“姜黄素”和“力量运动”。共选择了 11 篇论文进行综述。大多数研究显示，姜黄素补充剂对运动员和体育锻炼者有积极影响，且没有报告副作用。补充姜黄素的参与者表现出炎症和氧化应激减少、疼痛和肌肉损伤减少、恢复和肌肉性能更好、训练期间的心理和生理反应（热和心血管）更好、以及胃肠道功能改善。姜黄素补充剂对人类的运动和体育锻炼似乎是安全且有益的。PROSPERO（CRD42019126763）。
