Abstract

Pravilna prehrana smatra se jednim od bitnih preduvjeta zdravog života. Prevencija bolesti, poboljšanje zdravlja i funkcionalnih sposobnosti u sportaša i rekreativaca doveli su do povećanja interesa za spojevima s bioaktivnim djelovanjem. Polifenoli su jedni od tih spojeva. Njihova široka dostupnost i specifični fiziološki učinci prezentiraju ih kao jedinstvene prehrambene spojeve. U dosadašnjim istraživanjima povezanosti polifenola i potencijalnog učinka na zdravlje primjećuje se pozitivni učinak kod kardiovaskularnih, metaboličkih i neurodegenerativnih bolesti s obzirom na njihovu protuoksidacijsku, protukancerogenu, protualergijsku i protuupalnu aktivnost. Posebno se može promatrati njihova uloga funkcionalne hrane kod sportaša i rekreativaca zbog jedinstvenih zahtjeva u psihofizičkom smislu. Učinci polifenola pomažu u različitim fiziološkim stanjima koja slijede za vrijeme i nakon tjelesne aktivnosti. Pokazane su značajne uloge u zaštiti i oporavku mišića i kostiju, prevenciji metaboličkih bolesti i održavanju mentalnog zdravlja sportaša i rekreativaca.

Abstract (english)

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 available 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.
