Abstract

PURPOSE: Research results in recent years have shown that flavonoids are a group of naturally occurring compounds widely distributed in nature and have been shown to exhibit a wide range of biological activities on human health, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti-mutagenic and other characteristics. The research and application in relieving muscle fatigue caused by exercise has also become a research hotspot because of its good therapeutic effect and few side effects. Although flavonoids have positive effects on muscle fatigue recovery, the mechanism of action is not yet clear. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize the research results in this field.BR CONCLUSION: Currently, research on flavonoids for muscle fatigue recovery has focused on flavonoid-rich foods rather than on a purely molecular basis. And most are animal studies rather than clinical trials. As plant secondary metabolites, flavonoids can promote the recovery of muscle exercise fatigue in vivo, and try to explain the recovery of muscle exercise fatigue and its potential role. The active role of flavonoids in muscle fatigue recovery makes them a nutritious diet that provides a future research direction in human health nutrition. Further use of flavonoids to aid human health requires human trials using appropriate pure flavonoid molecules to elucidate whether flavonoids can be used as natural nutritional supplements as adjunct ingredients or key molecules with anti-muscle fatigue properties.
