Description
Evangeline Mantzioris, Anthony Villani, and Adrienne Forsyth review the Mediterranean diet and sports performance in a paper from 2024. The diet, rich in plants, olive oil, and fish, is famed for health benefits. Whether it helps athletes perform was less clear. The team searched five databases from the start to late 2023 and screened thousands of records.
Thirty-two studies qualified, most of them observational and nearly all from Mediterranean countries. Body measures were the most common outcomes, while true performance results were rare. Only one randomized trial reported sport-specific performance. The authors call the evidence base thin and skewed by region. They urge proper intervention trials in varied sports and countries.
