While both groups reported increased pain after the race, the cherry juice group reported a significantly
smaller increase in pain (12 ± 18 mm) compared to the placebo group (37 ± 20 mm) (p < .001). Participants in the
cherry juice group were more willing to use the drink in the future (p < 0.001) and reported higher satisfaction with the
pain reduction they attributed to the drink (p < 0.001).
