Supplementary files for article How can chokeberry (Aronia) (poly)phenol-rich supplementation help athletes? A systematic review of human clinical trials Athletes are increasingly consuming (poly)phenol supplements to modify oxidative stress and/or exercise-induced inflammation, in the hope that this will enhance exercise performance. Chokeberries are rich in (poly)phenols and may therefore influence the health and performance of athletes. The objective of this systematic review was to comprehensively explore the effects of chokeberry supplementation on performance and exercise-induced biomarkers of oxidative stress, inflammation, and haematology in the athletic population. A search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and SCOPUS. Studies were included if the participants were athletes, supplemented with chokeberry or chokeberry-based products, and evaluated sports-related outcomes. A total of ten articles were included in the study. The participants of all the studies were athletes and included rowers, football players, handball players, triathletes, and runners. A qualitative comprehensive summary of the applications of chokeberry supplementation targeting the athletic population has been evaluated. This included the effect of chokeberry supplementation on redox status, exercise-induced inflammation, haematology, iron metabolism, platelet aggregation, metabolic markers, body composition, and exercise performance. Chokeberry (poly)phenol-rich supplementation may be effective in enhancing the redox balance of athletes, yet more evidence is required to provide solid conclusions on its effect on inflammation, platelet function, iron metabolism and exercise performance.《野樱莓（chokeberry，Aronia属）富多酚补充剂如何助力运动员？一项人体临床试验系统综述》配套补充文件。当前运动员愈发倾向于摄入多酚（(poly)phenol）类补充剂，以调节氧化应激与/或运动诱导的炎症反应，以期提升运动表现。野樱莓富含多酚，因此或可对运动员的健康与运动表现产生影响。本系统综述的研究目标为全面探究野樱莓补充剂对运动员群体的运动表现，以及运动诱导的氧化应激、炎症反应与血液学相关生物标志物的影响。研究人员在PubMed、Web of Science及SCOPUS三大数据库中开展了文献检索。纳入标准为：研究对象为运动员，干预措施为野樱莓或野樱莓基补充产品，且评估了与运动相关的结局指标。本研究最终纳入10篇相关文献。所有纳入研究的受试者均为运动员，涵盖赛艇运动员、足球运动员、手球运动员、铁人三项运动员及长跑运动员。研究针对面向运动员群体的野樱莓补充剂应用场景开展了定性综合总结，内容涵盖野樱莓补充剂对氧化还原状态、运动诱导炎症、血液学指标、铁代谢、血小板聚集、代谢标志物、身体成分及运动表现的影响。富含多酚的野樱莓补充剂或可有效改善运动员的氧化还原平衡，但目前仍需更多研究证据，方能就其对炎症、血小板功能、铁代谢及运动表现的影响得出确凿结论。
