FTP #28: Joanna Bowtell, PhD & Vitor H. Teixeira, PhD - The underrated role of polyphenols in sports nutrition

Exhaustive or unaccustomed intense exercise can cause exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and its undesirable consequences may decrease the ability to exercise and to adhere to a training program. Dietary and supplemented polyphenols appear to be a promising way of reducing EIMD. On this episode, we go around the latest evidence on this subject and the applicability it has to athletic populations.
