Given the current lack of studies, the primary purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of black maca supplementation intake on changes in physical strength and inflammatory markers among elite athletes. Forty-four elite athletes were recruited for the present study. They included shooting athletes, racket sports athletes, and fin swimming athletes. The intake capsules contained 2500 mg of 100% concentrated black maca extract. Participants were instructed to take one capsule twice a day for eight weeks with pure water. Changes were seen in the ATP-PC systems and aerobic energy systems, particularly in the fin swimming athletes requiring aerobic energy systems. This effect is caused by increased antioxidant activity and influenced mitochondrial biosynthesis regulatory factors due to black maca supplementation intake. These findings provide preliminary evidence that elite athletes will benefit from taking black maca to improve their inflammation levels and physical fitness.
鉴于目前缺乏相关研究,本研究的主要目的是探讨黑玛咖补充摄入对精英运动员身体力量和炎症标志物变化的影响。本研究招募了 44 名精英运动员,包括射击运动员、球拍运动员和游泳运动员。摄入胶囊含有 2500 毫克 100%浓缩黑玛咖提取物。参与者被指示每天用纯水服用两次,每次一粒,持续八周。在需要有氧能量系统的游泳运动员中,观察到 ATP-PC 系统和有氧能量系统的变化。这种影响是由于黑玛咖补充摄入增加了抗氧化活性和影响线粒体生物合成调节因子所致。这些发现提供了初步证据,表明服用黑玛咖可以改善精英运动员的炎症水平和身体素质。
