“…Knee extension maximum voluntary contraction recovery was 90.9% of baseline at 24 hours and 92.9% of baseline at 48 hours in in the cherry group, compared to 84.9% and 88.5% in the placebo group, respectively. There was no significant reduction in muscle soreness because the cherry group had no change in muscle pressure pain threshold (reduction a maximum of 27%) [22]. Protein carbonyls were statistically elevated at baseline, which could have been a confounder indicating increased oxidative damage in the cherry group.…”

“…A small study of 10 male athletes demonstrated that consumption of a tart cherry juice concentrate resulted in greater muscle force recovery with decreased serum protein carbonyls associated with reduced oxidative damage [22]. Knee extension maximum voluntary contraction recovery was 90.9% of baseline at 24 hours and 92.9% of baseline at 48 hours in in the cherry group, compared to 84.9% and 88.5% in the placebo group, respectively.…”

“…A small number of human studies have been conducted in athletes to investigate whether tart cherry treatment is linked to pain associated with muscle damage [21,22,46]. Pain that occurs following an acute tissue injury may be due in part to oxidative damage, which triggers an inflammatory response [21,22]. Both mechanical and oxidative tissue damage are seen in chronic diseases of aging, as well as in competitive athletes.…”

“…Protein carbonyls were statistically elevated at baseline, which could have been a confounder indicating increased oxidative damage in the cherry group. However, the authors noted there is no known mechanism for this to affect response to the exercise protocol [22]. Protein carbonyls, commonly known as advanced glycation end products (AGEs), are known to increase in chronic diseases of aging, such as CVD, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and type II diabetes (47).…”

“…The purpose of this review is to summarize and critically examine in vitro and in vivo human and animal studies (Table 1) on the efficacy of tart cherry products for pain relief in chronic diseases. Since the majority of the published human studies [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] are insufficiently powered, it is not possible to conduct a meta-analysis to ascertain the role of tart cherry in pain relief.…”

Abstract. BACKGROUND:Tart cherry, rich in bioactive polyphenols, has received attention in the past decade for reported health benefits due to its high polyphenolic content. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether there is a potential role for tart cherry or its isolated components in amelioration of pain relief in chronic diseases that may affect the elderly. METHODS:In vitro and in vivo human and animal studies that utilized tart cherry or extracts of tart cherry compounds to determine an effect on oxidative stress, inflammation, muscle damage, and pain were reviewed and summarized (Table 1). RESULTS: Tart cherry and its isolated compounds have demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects both in vitro and in vivo which may improve self-reported pain. In humans, these include modest improvements in gout flare incidents, and self-reported pain in fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis (OA), and conditions of induced oxidative stress and muscle damage. Beneficial biochemical changes were also reported for inflammatory and oxidative biomarkers such as serum urate, C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). However, most studies reported to date have insufficient sample size, treatment duration, and statistical power to draw any firm conclusions. CONCLUSIONS: Consumption of tart cherries and their bioactive constituents may be a potential novel therapy for reducing the pain associated with chronic diseases particularly common to an aged population. Larger, more rigorous trials are needed to reach any firm conclusions.

Montmorency Cherry Juice Reduces Muscle Damage Caused by Intensive Strength Exercise

Abstract: Montmorency cherry juice consumption improved the recovery of isometric muscle strength after intensive exercise perhaps owing to the attenuation of the oxidative damage induced by the damaging exercise.
