SUPLEMENTAÇÃO DA CÚRCUMA (CÚRCUMA LONGA) NA NUTRIÇÃO ESPORTIVA: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Keywords:
Turmeric, Athletes, InflammationAbstract
Intense physical exercise, such as marathons, alters plasma levels of inflammatory mediators, triggering an inflammatory response that activates the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), essential for repair and adaptation to training. Turmeric has been studied in the sports context due to its anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study was to review the benefits of turmeric supplementation on the physical performance of adult marathon runners. A narrative review of the literature was carried out with articles published in the last 10 years, in Scielo, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases, using descriptors such as "turmeric," "curcumin," and "antioxidant." Inclusion criteria were original studies in adult humans that evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of turmeric on athletic performance. After analyzing 75 articles, 21 were selected. The studies reviewed presented samples ranging from 8 to 240 individuals, who supplemented with 200mg to 8g of turmeric post-training. Supplementation showed anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, suggesting that turmeric may improve performance and accelerate post-race recovery in marathon and half-marathon runners. Despite promising results, further studies with different turmeric doses are needed to confirm its benefits in sports, especially concerning anti-inflammatory effects.
