Flavanols-rich cocoa has positive effects on lipid metabolism and might enhance the performance of athletes through an improvement in their body composition. To test this hypothesis a placebo-controlled intervention study in training endurance athletes who received 5 g of cocoa daily (425 mg of flavanols) for 10 weeks was performed. Dietary intake, body composition, exercise performance and plasma levels of follistatin, myostatin and leptin were measured. Cocoa intake significantly reduced body fat percentage (p = 0.020), specifically in the trunk (p = 0.022), visceral area (p = 0.034) and lower limbs (p = 0.004). The reduction in body fat mass was accompanied by an increase in plasma follistatin and a decrease in leptin, while myostatin levels remained unchanged. The intake of cocoa reduced the percentage of body fat of athletes, without any impact on athletes' performance. The change in fat body composition did not improve athletes' performance.

长期补充富含黄烷醇的可可粉可通过改变卵泡抑素/肌生长抑制素比率和瘦素水平来减少耐力运动员的体脂量。

富含黄烷醇的可可对脂质代谢具有积极作用,并可能通过改善运动员的身体成分来增强运动员的表现。为了检验该假设,在训练耐力运动员中进行了安慰剂对照干预研究,这些运动员每天接受5 g可可(425 mg黄烷醇),持续10周。测量饮食摄入量,身体成分,运动表现和卵泡抑素,肌生长抑制素和瘦素的血浆水平。可可摄入量显着降低了体内脂肪百分比(p = 0.020),特别是在躯干(p = 0.022),内脏区域(p = 0.034)和下肢(p = 0.004)。体脂量的减少伴随着血浆卵泡抑素的增加和瘦素的减少,而肌生长抑制素水平保持不变。可可的摄入减少了运动员体内脂肪的百分比,对运动员的表现没有任何影响。脂肪成分的变化并没有改善运动员的表现。
