Abstract

Spirulina is a food that is gaining increasing attention in the field of sports and exercise nutrition due to its rich biochemical composition and positive effects on health. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of spirulina have been proven in various studies, but its effects on athletes and people exercising are not clear. The effects of a herbal food with high protein content, such as spirulina, are important in the athlete population, where the use of vegetable protein increases. The purpose of this review is to examine current studies on spirulina supplements and exercise and to provide updated and complementary information on the subject by summarizing the use of spirulina to increase exercise and sports performance and accelerate post-training recovery.

SPİRULİNANIN EGZERSİZ ve SPOR PERFORMANSI ÜZERİNE ETKİLERİ

Abstract

Spirulina zengin biyokimyasal bileşimi ve sağlık üzerindeki olumlu etkileri nedeniyle spor ve egzersiz beslenmesi alanında giderek ilgi çekmekte olan bir besindir. Spirulinanın antioksidan, anti inflamatuar, immunomodülatör etkisi çeşitli çalışmalarla kanıtlanmıştır ancak sporcular üzerindeki etkisi belirsizdir. Bitkisel protein kullanımının giderek arttığı sporcu popülasyonunda spirulina gibi yüksek protein içeriğine sahip bir bitkisel besinin etkileri önem taşımaktadır. Bu derleme makalenin amacı, spirulina takviyesi ve egzersiz üzerine yapılan güncel araştırmaları incelemek, spirulinanın egzersiz ve spor performansını artırmak ve antrenman sonrası iyileşmeyi hızlandırmak için kullanımına dair çalışmaları özetleyerek güncel ve derleyici bilgi sunmaktır.
