A Systematic Review of Pea Protein Supplementation and Sports Performance
Abstract
The global market for protein-based ergogenic aids, a cornerstone of sports nutrition, has experienced significant growth in recent years. While animal-based supplements have traditionally dominated this sector, the rising demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives has led to a dramatic increase in the popularity of plant-based proteins. The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the efficacy of pea protein supplementation in sports performance and to provide a comprehensive perspective on how it differentiates from other protein sources in the literature.
