“…No information about changes in muscle function and/or performance after a match was found in published papers for volleyball, softball and cricket. The extent of decrement in muscle function that elite athletes experience after an official match is not necessarily clear, since many of the studies did not use them as participants ( 3 , 10 – 12 , 15 – 19 , 21 – 27 , 29 , 30 ). Thus, in order to obtain the whole pictures of recovery after matches for elite athletes, more studies are required.…”

“…It is well-documented that muscle damage represented by DOMS and prolonged decreases in muscle function is induced by unaccustomed exercises consisting of large volume and/or high-intensity eccentric contractions, and the magnitude of muscle damage is reduced when the same exercises are repeated, known as the repeated bout effect ( 2 , 32 – 34 ). In spite of the repeated bout effect, some muscle damage is still induced in well-trained athletes ( 3 , 5 , 8 , 10 , 13 , 18 , 27 , 29 , 30 ). The muscle damage impairs performance, which could last for several days ( 6 – 8 , 35 ).…”

“…Thus, it seems likely that actual soccer matches could induce greater muscle damage than the LIST, because of other activities with a ball, and competitive nature of matches including contacts and impacts with opponents, thus the recovery takes longer. However, some studies reported that muscle soreness and some performance measures (sprint, vertical jump) fully returned to baseline at 24–48 h following a 90 min soccer match ( 27 , 28 , 30 ). It appears that many factors such as physical and mental demands in matches, environment and condition (e.g., temperature, humidity, ground condition) and the level of players affect the magnitude of muscle damage.…”

Muscle damage could affect the next match performance in sports when the time to recover from a previous match is shorter. We examined the interval between matches in nine team sports (e.g., soccer, rugby, field hockey, basketball, volleyball, baseball) and two racket sports (badminton, tennis) in World Cups held in 2022-2023, 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games and Gland Slam in 2023. We then performed narrative review using three electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar) to get information about muscle damage and recovery in the 11 sports, and discussed whether the intervals in the events would be enough for athletes. We found that the match intervals varied among sports and events ranging from 0 to 17 days. The interval was the shortest for softball (0–2 days) and the longest (5–17 days) for rugby. Regarding muscle damage, changes in muscle function and/or performance measures after a match were not reported for cricket, volleyball and softball, but some information was available for other sports, although the studies did not necessarily use athletes who participated in the major events. It was found that recovery was longer for soccer and rugby than other sports. Importantly, the match-intervals in the events did not appear to accommodate the recovery time required from the previous match in many sports. This could increase a risk of injury and affect players’ conditions and health. Changing the match-intervals may be difficult, since it affects the budget of sporting events, but an adequate interval between matches should be considered for each sport from the player’s and coach's point of view.

Curcumin is a strong substance derived from turmeric, a popular spice, renowned for its antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory abilities. The study delved deeply into a thorough examination of various sources to evaluate the impact of both regular curcumin and nano‐formulated curcumin on elements that impact physical performance, including muscular strain, discomfort, swelling, and oxidative tension. While engaging in exercise, the body experiences a rise in reactive oxygen species and inflammation. As a result, it is important to ensure a proper balance between internal and external sources of antioxidants to maintain stability in the skeletal muscle. Without this balance, there is a risk of muscle soreness, damage, and ultimately, a decline in exercise performance. Curcumin possesses the ability to enhance physical performance and reduce the symptoms of muscle fatigue and injury by virtue of its antioxidative and anti‐inflammatory properties. Including curcumin supplements appears to have advantageous effects on various aspects of exercise, such as enhancing performance, assisting with recovery, lessening muscle damage and discomfort, and lowering levels of inflammation and oxidative stress. However, a thorough assessment is necessary to precisely gauge the healing advantages of curcumin in enhancing exercise ability and reducing recovery time.

Background Soccer is linked to an acute inflammatory response and the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Antioxidant supplements have shown promising effects in reducing muscle damage and oxidative stress and enhancing the recovery process after eccentric exercise. This critical review highlights the influence of antioxidant supplements on performance and recovery following soccer-related activity, training, or competition. Methods: English-language publications from the main databases that examine how antioxidant-based nutrition and supplements affect the recovery process before, during, and after soccer practice or competition were used. Results: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), astaxanthin (Asx), red orange juice (ROJS), L-carnitine (LC), N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), beetroot (BET), turmeric root, and tangeretin reduce muscle damage (creatine kinase, myoglobin, cortisol, lactate dehudrogenase, muscle soreness). Tangeretin, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), turmeric root, and aronia melanocarpa restrict inflammation (leukocytes, prostalagdin E2, C-reactive protein, IL-6 and 10). Q10, DHA, Asx, tangeretin, lippia citriodora, quercetin, allopurinol, turmeric root, ROJS, aronia melanocarpa, vitamins C-E, green tea (GTE), and sour tea (STE) reduce oxidative stress (malondialdehude, glutathione, total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutases, protein carbonyls, ascorbate, glutathione peroxidase, and paraoxonase 1). BET and NAC reinforce performance (endurance, jump, speed, strength). Conclusions: Further research is needed to determine the main mechanism and the acute and long-term impacts of antioxidant supplements in soccer.
