Liverpool Hope study reveals effect of cocoa on exercise

Research analysed the potential health benefits of cocoa flavanols, a plant nutrient extracted from cocoa beans.  They are found in abundance in cocoa powder, and to a lesser extent in dark chocolate and are also abundant in green tea, fruit and vegetables. The substance is most commonly available as a supplement which is often used by amateur athletes to boost performance.  Because cocoa flavanols have a ‘vasodilatory’ effect, helping to increase blood flow, they’ve been shown to prevent blood clots and even combat memory decline.  A team of scientists from Liverpool Hope University and Liverpool John Moores University tested the effects of cocoa flavanols in a group of adults aged between 40 and 60 years old who engaged in less than two hours of exercise per week.
