Sažetak
Proper nutrition is one of the basic prerequisites for
a healthy lifestyle. The need to find compounds with
bioactive agents in order to prevent disease, improve health
and functional capacities in professional and recreational
athletes has resulted in an increase of interest. Polyphenols
are one of these compounds. Their wide accessibility
and specific physiological effects make them unique
nutritional compounds. Current research on the potential
positive effects of polyphenols on health shows benefits
on cardiovascular, metabolic and neurodegenerative
diseases, regarding their antioxidative, anticancerogenic,
hypoalergenic and antiinflammatory activities. Their role as
a functional food in athletes can be observed due to unique
requirements, with reference to their psycho-physiological
demands. The effects of polyphenols are beneficial in cases
of various physiological conditions, which occur during or
after physical activity. Important roles in the protection and
recovery of muscles and bones, prevention of metabolic
diseases and maintenance of mental health have been shown
in professional and recreational athletes.
