To date, there has been no recent opinion that explores tempeh as a functional food that can improve sports performance. Hence, this opinion article aims to elaborate on recent findings on the potential effect on sports performance of soy-based tempeh. This opinion paper presents updated evidence based on literature reviews about soy-based tempeh and its relationship with sports performance. The paraprobiotic role of for athletes has been found to restore fatigue and reduce anxiety. This is achieved by increasing protein synthesis activity in eukaryotic initiation factor-2 (EIF2) signaling known as an adaptive pathway for integrated stress response. In addition, these paraprobiotics prevent down-regulation associated with the oxidative phosphorylation gene, thereby contributing to the maintenance of mitochondrial function and recovery from fatigue. The authors believe that this opinion article will encourage researchers to continue to evolve soybean-based tempeh food products and increase the performance of athletes by consuming soy-based foods.
迄今为止，还没有最近的观点探讨豆豉作为一种功能性食品，可以提高运动表现。因此，本观点文章旨在详细阐述基于大豆的豆豉对运动表现的潜在影响。本观点文章根据关于基于大豆的豆豉及其与运动表现关系的文献综述，提供了最新的证据。豆豉的拟益生菌作用已被发现可以恢复疲劳并减轻焦虑。这是通过增加真核起始因子-2（EIF2）信号中的蛋白质合成活性来实现的，该信号被称为综合应激反应的适应性途径。此外，这些拟益生菌可以防止与氧化磷酸化基因相关的下调，从而有助于维持线粒体功能并从疲劳中恢复。作者认为，本观点文章将鼓励研究人员继续开发基于大豆的豆豉食品，并通过食用基于大豆的食物来提高运动员的表现。
