Strenuous exercise causes increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), creating an imbalance between ROS and antioxidants. The reduced antioxidant defence leads to defective elimination of ROS and consequently, delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). DOMS due to exhaustive or prolonged exercise typically peaks between 24 h and 72 h after exercise results in soreness, inflammation, pain and decreased muscle function. As a result, muscle strength will be reduced progressively and this situation might be detrimental to one's athletic performance, especially amidst competition season. Therefore, supplementation to improve muscle recovery and sports performance has become a common practice among athletes. However, it is suggested to consume natural-based fruit-derived antioxidants as a more effective and safe nutritional strategy. Fruits containing a high amount of polyphenol protect muscle cells from excessive and harmful ROS due to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics. To date, there are several expended studies on the consumption of supplements from various antioxidant-rich fruits to provide evidence on their effectiveness, giving better solutions and wider choices of supplementation to the athletes. Therefore, this review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of nutritional standpoint from previous literature on the effect of fruit juices supplementation on muscle recovery and sports performance.
剧烈运动会导致活性氧（ROS）生成增加，从而造成ROS与抗氧化剂之间的失衡。抗氧化防御能力下降会导致ROS清除功能受损，进而引发延迟性肌肉酸痛（DOMS）。因力竭运动或长时间运动导致的DOMS通常在运动后24小时至72小时达到峰值，会导致肌肉酸痛、炎症、疼痛以及肌肉功能下降。因此，肌肉力量会逐渐减弱，这种情况可能会对运动员的运动表现产生不利影响，尤其是在比赛期间。所以，通过补充营养来促进肌肉恢复和提高运动表现已成为运动员的普遍做法。然而，建议食用天然的水果来源抗氧化剂作为一种更有效且安全的营养策略。富含多酚的水果因其抗炎和抗氧化特性，可保护肌肉细胞免受过量有害ROS的侵害。迄今为止，已有多项关于食用各种富含抗氧化剂水果的补充剂的扩展研究，以证明其有效性，为运动员提供更好的解决方案和更广泛的补充选择。因此，本综述旨在从营养角度全面概述以往文献中关于补充果汁对肌肉恢复和运动表现影响的研究。
