What the rows share
From the rowsThe best-graded row, grade D, is a crossover trial of 14 people (2015) and found an improvement.
The rows run from 10 to 14 people, published from 2015 to 2024: 3 single studies.
The rows
3 improved- DGrade DTime to exhaustion in high-intensity running (açaí beverage) · Improved
Crossover RCT · n 14 · 2015 · Elite athletes
One dose before a test (dosing schedule not detailed in the abstract) · Acute
Time to exhaustion at 90% VO2max was 69 seconds longer than in the control condition (P=0.045), with lower perceived exertion.
- DGrade DMuscle strength recovery after jumping exercise · Improved
RCT · n 12 · 2024 · Men doing a muscle-damaging jump protocol
40 g/day · 7 days
Knee-flexor strength recovered faster at 24 and 72 hours and blood antioxidant capacity rose 11% versus placebo; the fatigue index did not differ.
- DGrade DBlood lactate and aerobic threshold in cyclists (açaí pulp) · Improved
Crossover RCT · n 10 · 2020 · Trained male cyclists
400 g/day · 15 days per period, 30-day washout
Blood lactate during exercise fell 29% (P=0.025) and the anaerobic threshold intensity rose after açaí pulp versus placebo; antioxidant capacity rose and lipid peroxidation fell. DNA damage did not change.
