Abstract: Introduction: delayed-onset muscle soreness or DOMS is one of the main indicators of muscle damage and is associated with physical exercise with a high eccentric component. Various ways of counteracting it have been investigated for years, including the use of nutritional supplements based on fatty acids for their anti-inflammatory effect. Objective: to determine the effectiveness of fatty acid supplementation in the treatment of late-onset muscle soreness or DOMS. Method: a search was carried out in the Pubmed, Scopus and SportDiscus databases. The keywords used for the search were “delayed onset muscle soreness” and “exercise induced muscle damage” combined with “fatty acids”. Results: 181 studies were identified, of which 19 met the established criteria to be included in the review. The main fatty acids used were Omega 3 and fish oil. Of the total number of studies analysed, in 13 of them there was a decrease in DOMS, compared to 6 of which there was no effect of any kind. Conclusion: the data are not conclusive as to whether fatty acid supplementation is effective in attenuating DOMS symptoms, although recent studies show favorable results. To further determine its role on DOMS, large-scale randomized controlled studies carefully evaluating the dose-duration-response relationships of different types of fatty acids are needed.
