Abstract: Exercise-induced fatigue is a common physiological phenomenon caused by continuous overloaded exercise. The three main proposed mechanisms underlying exercise-induced fatigue include energy depletion, accumulation of metabolites and induction of oxidative stress. In this paper, we summarize the anti-fatigue bioactive compounds recently discovered in foods and their application as an ingredient in anti-fatigue products. This review is expected to provide new regulatory targets and research ideas for screening for safe and effective anti-fatigue bioactive compounds and offer a theoretical basis for developing novel anti-fatigue products.

Key words: exercise-induced fatigue, mechanism, dietary bioactive constituents, application
