Phospholipids in sports functional foods
Phospholipids are increasingly used in sports functional foods due to their roles in energy metabolism and muscle repair:
Enhancing Energy Supply: Phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidic acid (PA) regulate glucose uptake in muscle cells and promote ATP synthesis, improving athletic performance and delaying fatigue. Sports drinks fortified with phospholipids and electrolytes increase endurance by 15–20% in long-distance runners.
Accelerating Muscle Recovery: Phospholipids (especially PC and PE) promote muscle protein synthesis and reduce exercise-induced inflammation. Post-workout protein powders containing phospholipids reduce muscle soreness by 25–30% and shorten recovery time by 1–2 days, as they enhance the absorption of amino acids (e.g., leucine) and reduce oxidative damage to muscle fibers.
Preventing Muscle Atrophy: For elderly or sedentary populations, phospholipid supplementation (combined with resistance training) supports muscle mass maintenance by improving muscle cell membrane integrity and regulating muscle protein turnover.
