Abstract
Abstract: Objective: The aim of this SR is to evaluate the impacts of micronutrient supplementation on physical performance and musculoskeletal injury prevention in endurance athletes. Method: A systematic search of the literature in PubMed, Embase and Scopus from 1984 to 2020 was performed, following PRISMA guidelines. After applying the inclusion criteria, 17 studies were included. The quality of evidence was measured using the modified Downs and Black checklist. Results: Initially, 3413 articles met the search equations. Fifteen articles compared the influence of supplementation on performance and two on the incidence of injury. Eight studies were supplemented with antioxidants, vitamins, and micronutrients in four studies, PUFA in three studies and amino acids in two studies. Thirteen studies showed no significant results. Two papers found no beneficial effect between the two groups on injury prevention and 11 on performance. Four studies showed positive results on performance. Conclusion: This SR showed that micronutrients had no potential effect on performance and on the prevention of musculoskeletal injuries. However, some micronutrients could improve certain performance parameters. It might be interesting to investigate these effects in future research.
