, also known as spirulina, is currently one of the most well-known algae supplements, mainly due to its high content of bioactive compounds that may promote human health. Some authors have hypothesized that spirulina consumption could protect subjects from exercise-induced oxidative stress, accelerate recovery by reducing muscle damage, and stimulate the immune system. Based on this, the main goal of this review was to critically analyze the effects of spirulina on oxidative stress, immune system, inflammation and performance in athletes and people undergoing exercise interventions. Of the 981 articles found, 428 studies were considered eligible and 13 met the established criteria and were included in this systematic review. Most recently spirulina supplementation has demonstrated ergogenic potential during submaximal exercise, increasing oxygen uptake and improving exercise tolerance. Nevertheless, spirulina supplementation does not seem to enhance physical performance in power athletes. Considering that data supporting benefits to the immune system from spirulina supplementation is still lacking, overall evidence regarding the benefit of spirulina supplementation in healthy people engaged in physical exercise is scarce and not consistent. Currently, spirulina supplementation might be considered in athletes who do not meet the recommended dietary intake of antioxidants. Further high-quality research is needed to evaluate the effects of spirulina consumption on performance, the immune system and recovery in athletes and active people.

，也被称为螺旋藻，是目前最知名的藻类补充剂之一，主要是因为其富含可能促进人类健康的生物活性化合物。一些作者推测，食用螺旋藻可以保护受试者免受运动诱导的氧化应激，通过减少肌肉损伤加速恢复，并刺激免疫系统。基于此，本综述的主要目的是批判性地分析螺旋藻对运动员和接受运动干预的人群的氧化应激、免疫系统、炎症和运动表现的影响。在找到的981篇文章中，428项研究被认为符合条件，13项符合既定标准并被纳入本系统综述。最近，补充螺旋藻已显示出在次最大运动期间的促力潜能，增加摄氧量并提高运动耐力。然而，补充螺旋藻似乎并不能提高力量型运动员的身体表现。考虑到支持补充螺旋藻对免疫系统有益的数据仍然缺乏，关于补充螺旋藻对从事体育锻炼的健康人有益的总体证据很少且不一致。目前，对于未达到抗氧化剂推荐膳食摄入量的运动员，可以考虑补充螺旋藻。需要进一步的高质量研究来评估食用螺旋藻对运动员和活跃人群的运动表现、免疫系统和恢复的影响。
