Rhodiola rosea (Golden Root Extract; RR) is an herbaceous perennial, which is native to high altitude areas, such as East Asia, Central Asia, Siberia, and North America. It has been studied for its positive pharmacological effects on health. However, only a handful of studies have evaluated the effects of RR as an exercise supplement for sport and physical activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether Rhodiola can be used as a supplement to improve human exercise ability. Studies were reviewed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines and conducted between August and November, 2021. Databases searched included Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science, PubMed and East View Universal Database. Related terms were combined with keywords and MeSH subject headings using the corresponding Boolean operators: Rhodiola rosea, arctic root, roseroot, golden root, hongjingtian, and sports and exercise. A total of 10 papers were reviewed. Most of the studies reported that RR supplementation has a positive effect on athletic ability and sports performance, and no obvious adverse reactions were reported. Subjects taking RR showed a reduction in pain and muscle damage after exercise training, improved skeletal muscle damage, enhanced antioxidant capacity thereby reducing oxidative stress, reduced RPE scores, and improved athletic explosive power, but did not reduce the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scores. RR appears to act as a safe and effective supplementation for sport and exercise.
红景天（金根提取物；RR）是一种多年生草本植物，原产于高海拔地区，如东亚、中亚、西伯利亚和北美洲。人们对其对健康的积极药理作用进行了研究。然而，只有少数研究评估了RR作为运动和体育活动的运动补充剂的效果。本研究的目的是评估红景天是否可以用作提高人类运动能力的补充剂。研究按照PRISMA指南进行综述，并于2021年8月至11月开展。检索的数据库包括Cochrane、Embase、科学网、PubMed和东景通用数据库。相关术语与关键词和医学主题词相结合，使用相应的布尔运算符：红景天、北极根、蔷薇根、金根、红景天，以及运动和锻炼。共综述了10篇论文。大多数研究报告称，补充RR对运动能力和运动表现有积极影响，且未报告明显的不良反应。服用RR的受试者在运动训练后疼痛和肌肉损伤减轻，骨骼肌损伤得到改善，抗氧化能力增强，从而减轻氧化应激，RPE评分降低，运动爆发力提高，但未降低主观用力感觉评分（RPE）。RR似乎是一种安全有效的运动和锻炼补充剂。
