Abstract
The present systematic review aimed to evaluate the effect of probiotic supplementation on gut microbiota and sport performance in athletes and physically active individuals. This review followed the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (P RISMA). The search had no time limits and included the following databases: MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, and SP ORT Discus. The risk of bias was assessed through the updated version of the Cochrane tool for assessing the risk of bias in randomized trials (RoB 2). Nine randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were included, accounting for 216 participants. Of these, seven studies found positive results on sport performance. Additionally, some studies showed significant decrease in biochemical parameters linked to inflammation. It was also observed direct results in the microbiota composition of the participants, such as an increase in the abundance of probiotics and a decrease in certain pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, the use of probiotics showed improvement in inflammatory biomarkers and oxidative stress, which indirectly may contribute to the improvement of sport performance. However, the majority of the studies presented a high risk of bias, which impair the reproducibility of the results. While the field of probiotic supplementation and sport performance is emerging, the promising results from this systematic review suggest that further investigation through larger and more robust randomized clinical trials can provide valuable insights for athletes and their performance.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dietary Supplements (formerly the Journal of Nutraceuticals, Functional & Medical Foods) has been retitled to reflect the bold departure from a traditional scientific journal presentation to a leading voice for anyone with a stake in dietary supplements. The journal addresses important issues that meet the broad range of interests from researchers, regulators, marketers, educators, and health professionals from academic, governmental, industry, healthcare, public health, and consumer education sectors. This vital tool not only presents scientific information but interprets it - helping you more readily pass it on to your students, patients, clients, or company.
