Abstract in brief

Out of 14 studies reviewed, only 3 showed benefits like reduced muscle damage, while the others found no effect or negative impacts on performance and muscle recovery.
Due to inconsistent results and the possibility of interfering with training adaptations, it’s better for athletes to get antioxidants from a healthy diet rather than supplements.]
