Delayed post-exercise muscle pain is a type of pain that is felt within the first 24 hours after exercise, peaks between 1 and 3 days, compared to acute muscle pain, and its effect decreases completely after 5-7 days. There is increasing interest and research into delayed muscle pain. Although there are different formation mechanisms on delayed muscle pain, the formation mechanisms have not been fully explained. Nutritional interventions are one of the preventive and/or therapeutic ways to reduce delayed muscle soreness. Studies have reported that nutritional interventions can reduce delayed muscle soreness. Many studies have reported the effect of caffeine, omega-3 fatty acids, taurine, polyphenols, and curcumin on delayed muscle soreness. Consistent data have not been reported from minor interventions with supplements such as antioxidants, L-carnitine, BCAA, allicin. Delayed muscle soreness is an area that needs more study in athletes. There is a need for more studies examining these factors by considering more factors such as the severity of the damage, individual response, the dose-response relationship used, the duration of intake and the markers they are affected by. The aim of this review is to address nutritional interventions that are thought to be effective in the treatment and prevention of delayed muscle pain and to discuss the relationship between delayed muscle pain and nutrition.
