This study examined the effects of powdered TC supplementation on various recovery and performance metrics following a repeated sprint exercise protocol in physically active young adults. Methods: 40 (18 M, 22 F) healthy, active participants (24.6 \u00b1 5.5 yrs, 171.5 \u00b1 11 cm, 71.7 \u00b1 14.5 kg, 24.2 \u00b1 3.1 kg\u00b7m\u22122) participated in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel study design. Placebo (PLA) or powdered TC supplementation (500 mg\/day) occurred for ten days: seven days prior to, day of, and two days following repeated sprints (15 \u00d7 30 m with 1 min rest between sprints). Performance was assessed via the countermovement jump, isometric mid-thigh pull, isokinetic knee extension, and the Wingate anaerobic test. Recovery was evaluated using visual analog scales for soreness, recovery, and readiness to train. Muscle damage was evaluated using creatine kinase. These measures were evaluated at baseline, and at 1 h, 24 h, and 48 h post-exercise. Results: Significant main effects of time were observed with recovery VAS (p &lt; 0.001), readiness to train VAS (p &lt; 0.001), and jump height (p = 0.014) experiencing similar reductions, while soreness VAS (p &lt; 0.001) and creatine kinase (p = 0.05) experienced similar increases in response to the repeated sprint protocol and supplementation. Across all measurements, no significant group \u00d7 time differences were observed for jump height (PLA:\u22126.7 \u00b1 10.4% vs. TC: \u221211.0 \u00b1 17.9%, p = 0.608), peak propulsive force (PLA: 0.3 \u00b1 4.6% vs. TC: 2.2 \u00b1 7.4%, p = 0.194), knee extension peak torque at 180\u00b0\/s (PLA: 10.5 \u00b1 73.5% vs. TC: \u22121.04 \u00b1 49.6%, p = 0.335), readiness to train VAS (PLA: \u221223.0 \u00b1 19.2% vs. TC: \u221214.7 \u00b1 20.2%, p = 0.401), soreness VAS (PLA: 250 \u00b1 323% vs. TC: 261 \u00b1 432%, p = 0.838), recovery VAS (PLA: \u221224.6 \u00b1 17.9% vs. TC: \u22128.2 \u00b1 40.5%, p = 0.251), and creatine kinase (PLA: 22.8 \u00b1 35.5% vs. TC: 90.4 \u00b1 225.6%, p = 0.31). Conclusions: A single bout of repeated sprints was responsible for significant reductions in jump height, peak propulsive force, peak torque, and perceived readiness, while perceived soreness, myoglobin, and creatine kinase were significantly increased. Ten days of TC supplementation did not impact any change beyond what was observed in PLA for markers of recovery, readiness, soreness, exercise performance, and markers of muscle damage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu18030443","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,29]],"date-time":"2026-01-29T13:29:03Z","timestamp":1769693343000},"page":"443","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Impact of Powdered Tart Cherry Supplementation on Performance Recovery Following Repeated Sprint Exercise"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5575-3670","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anthony M.","family":"Hagele","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Exercise and Performance Nutrition Laboratory, Lindenwood University, 209 South Kingshighway, St. Charles, MO 63301, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0630-7834","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kyle S.","family":"Levers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Metabolism and Exercise Testing Laboratory, Milken Institute School of Public Health, George Washington University, Washington, DC 20052, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevin F.","family":"Holley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Exercise and Performance Nutrition Laboratory, Lindenwood University, 209 South Kingshighway, St. Charles, MO 63301, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alex C.","family":"Schrautemeier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Toriola Laboratory, Department of Surgery, Washington University, St. Louis, MO 63110, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-2056-6616","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joesi M.","family":"Krieger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Exercise and Performance Nutrition Laboratory, Lindenwood University, 209 South Kingshighway, St. Charles, MO 63301, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-4157-3401","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joshua M.","family":"Iannotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Exercise and Performance Nutrition Laboratory, Lindenwood University, 209 South Kingshighway, St. Charles, MO 63301, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-5065-8886","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Connor J.","family":"Gaige","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit, Department of Neurology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63310, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7345-9635","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ralf","family":"J\u00e4ger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Increnovo LLC, Whitefish Bay, WI 53217, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0458-7294","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chad M.","family":"Kerksick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Exercise and Performance Nutrition Laboratory, Lindenwood University, 209 South Kingshighway, St. Charles, MO 63301, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"65","DOI":"10.1080\/15438620500528380","article-title":"Review of Exercise-Induced Muscle Injury: Relevance for Athletic Populations","volume":"14","author":"Falvo","year":"2006","journal-title":"Res.
