Conclusions
fatigue
Collectively, matcha green tea consumption during resistance training modulates muscle adaptation. Compounds in matcha can moderate exercise-induced stress and fatigue responses, which may promote recovery after exercise and training-induced adaptation. In addition, positive correlations were found between changes in muscle adaptation and microbiota. Further studies should examine the detailed mechanism of action of matcha and the significance of microbiota modulation. Although the amounts of some compounds in matcha are less than the effective amount, beneficial effects may still be obtained as the compounds are taken in combination.
