Effects of Paprika Xanthophyll Intake on Endurance and Cognitive Function in College Students: A Crossover Randomized Controlled Trial
It is speculated that PX intake may improve DO<sub>2</sub> efficiency, which could contribute to the observed enhancements in endurance performance and, in turn, positively affect cognitive function by optimizing the brain's oxygenation state. However, due to the absence of a placebo control group and unmeasured RBC deformability and cerebral blood flow, as well as a significant male predominance, this study's results should be interpreted with caution.
