The study examined the effect of polyphenol supplementation on lung function and exercise performance in an ozone-polluted environment. The results suggest that polyphenol supplementation may provide small benefits to performance and reduce cough symptoms during high-intensity exercise in such environments.
PurposePolluted environments can adversely affect lung function and exercise performance. Evidence suggests that some nutrient supplements may offset pollution's detrimental effects. This study examined the effect of polyphenol supplementation on lung function and exercise performance in an ozone-polluted environment.MethodsTen male cyclists (mean & PLUSMN; SD: age, 43.8 & PLUSMN; 12.4 years; height, 177.8 & PLUSMN; 7.1 cm; weight, 76.03 & PLUSMN; 7.88 kg; VO2max 4.12 & PLUSMN; 0.72 L min(-1)) initially completed a baseline maximal incremental test and maximal effort 4 km time trial in ambient air. Thereafter cyclists completed two trials in an ozone-polluted environment (0.25 ppm) following seven days of supplementation with either polyphenol (PB) or placebo (PL). Experimental trials consisted of a three-stage submaximal test (50%, 60% and 70% incremental peak power) followed by a 4 km time trial. Lung function was measured pre- and post-exercise via spirometry and adverse respiratory symptoms with a Likert scale.ResultsOzone exposure significantly reduced (p < 0.05) lung function relative to ambient air. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in measured variables across the three submaximal intensities. There was a small (d = 0.31) non-significant difference (p = 0.09) in 4 km performance in PB (406.43 & PLUSMN; 50.29 s) vs. PL (426.20 & PLUSMN; 75.06 s). Oxygen consumption during the time trial was greater in PB (3.49 & PLUSMN; 0.71 L min(-1)) vs PL (3.32 & PLUSMN; 0.71 L min(-1), p = 0.01, d = 0.24). Cough severity (SOC) was lower (p = 0.03) with PB relative to PL.ConclusionPB supplementation may provide small benefits to performance and reduce cough symptoms during high-intensity exercise in ozone-polluted environments.
