AB In order to improve the recovery process in combat sports disciplines, ergo-nutritional strategies could be an effective option in training andcompetition. Some of these ergo-nutritional aids could improve performance but literature references are scarce, with controversial resultsregarding actual recovery effects. This systematic review aimed to examine which ergo-nutritional methods are most effective for assisting inthe recovery process in combat sports, and to determine the appropriate training stimuli. This systematic review was carried out following thePreferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review (PRISMA) guidelines. A computerized search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, theCochrane Collaboration Database, Evidence Database, Evidence Based Medicine Search review, National Guidelines, EM-BASE, Scopus andGoogle Scholar system (from 1995 to April 30, 2021). The PICOS model was used to define inclusion and exclusion criteria. Out of 123 studiesinitially found, 18 met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review. Data from 367 athletes from different disciplines were examined.The evidence was grouped in 4 areas: oxidative stress, muscle and energy recovery, muscle repair, and metabolic acidosis. Evidence showed thatvitamins, minerals, and some natural ergo-nutritional products are effective as antioxidants. Carbohydrates and protein determine the recoveryeffect. Sodium bicarbonate has a role as primary acidosis metabolic delayer. Accordingly, ergo-nutritional aids can help in the recovery process.Considering the effects outlined in the literature, more studies are needed to provide firm evidence.
