Purpose of review: Supplements for exercise have gained significant attention among athletes and sports practitioners. Herbs with high bioactive content are commonly used to enhance exercise performance. Among these, Cordyceps spp., a traditional herb from China, is recognized for its pharmacological properties, including immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic effects observed in vitro. As an immunomodulatory agent, Cordyceps has been shown to successfully stimulate cytokine synthesis in human peripheral blood. Given that inflammation is a natural part of the aerobic exercise response, We aim in this review to summarize the effects of Cordyceps on aerobic performance and fitness in human studies.
Recent findings: Most studies involved active, young participants. Long-term supplementation with Cordyceps, ranging from 2 to 16 weeks, has demonstrated improvements in aerobic performance in a dose-dependent manner, as evidenced by an increase in time to exhaustion. However, the effects on aerobic fitness remain inconsistent. Furthermore, the ergogenic potential of Cordyceps in aging and sedentary populations requires further investigation due to the limited number of studies available. It also appears that Cordyceps supplementation may have a greater impact on aerobic performance and fitness when combined with other herbs and exercise training. Cordyceps supplementation shows potential as an ergogenic aid for exercise. Further research is needed to explore its effects at the cellular level in human studies.
期刊介绍：
This journal aims to provide comprehensive review articles that emphasize significant developments in nutrition research emerging in recent publications. By presenting clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to discuss the influence of nutrition on major health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity, as well as the impact of nutrition on genetics, metabolic function, and public health. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 25 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, suggests topics of special importance to their country/region, and ensures that topics and current and include emerging research.
