Key Points

To evaluate the impact of tart cherry juice supplementation on recovery markers after exercise-induced muscle damage in athletes.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing studies
Included trials assessing the recovery effects of tart cherry juice supplementation
Analyzed selected functional and inflammatory markers in trained athletes
Findings indicate that tart cherry juice may support recovery of certain recovery markers
Evidence quality was low to moderate, leading to heterogeneous results
Implications for cautious interpretation of the effectiveness of tart cherry juice supplementation

Abstract

TC juice supplementation may support recovery of selected functional and inflammatory markers following exercise-induced muscle damage in trained athletes; however, findings are heterogeneous and supported by low-to-moderate certainty of evidence, warranting cautious interpretation.
