apopular among physiologists, sportspeople and the physically active.
Studies conducted mainly on animals demonstrate the potential of the
bioactive and nutritional constituents of certain fruits, which when
absorbed and metabolised can influence the performance parametersof
athletes and physically active. Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia (H.B.K.)
McVaugh) which is rich in vitamin C, guarana (Paullinia cupana)
with its high caffeine content, açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart) which is
a great source of energy, the aphrodisiac marapuama (Ptychopetalum
olacoides Bentham (Olacaceae) which has alkaloids among its
biochemical constituents. Cubiu (Solanum sessiliflorum Dunal) which is rich in zinc, magnesium and selenium and the Castanha de
cutia (Couepia edulis (Prance) Prance - Chrysobalanaceae)
which is abundant in mono and polysaturated oils besides vitamin E,
are all fruits that originate from the Amazon Rainforest. As the quantity
of research on Amazonian herbs and fruits and their effects on sporting
performance is low, the objective of this review was to highlight and
substantiate the possible effects of these fruits in this type of application.
