Psychological disparities impact physical activity and fitness in sedentary female college students by affecting cardiovascular efficiency. Ganoderma lucidum, vitality-enhancing herb alleviates health and rejuvenates the mind-body to improve endurance fitness. A double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled parallel design study was conducted to determine whether supplementation of G. lucidum in daily dosages of 500 mg (GL500mg group) and 1000 mg (GL1000mg group) improves psychophysiological health capabilities during the different phases of the experimental trial. Analysis for pre-experimental trial (day 0), experimental trial (day 15), and post-experimental trial (after day 30) on anthropometric, psychological, physiological, and physical fitness parameters were executed. Seventy-eight participants (n = 78, age 20.64 ± 3.21 years) were assigned randomly and equally divided (n = 26) to one of the three treatment groups for intragroup and intergroup comparisons. Significant differences in the post-experimental GL1000mg group for heart rate (HR), maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), physical work capacity (PWC170), and right-hand grip strength (P < 0.05) compared with the placebo group were observed. GL1000mg-supplemented group also significantly improved (P < 0.05) HR, VO2max and PWC170 (P < 0.001) after pre- to post-trials. Experimental trial between placebo and GL1000mg group and post-experimental trial between the GL500mg and GL1000mg group showed significant changes in VO2max(P < 0.001) and PWC170 (P < 0.05). Anxiety, depression, vitality and positive well-being scores significantly improved, leading to improved psychological well-being after GL1000mg supplementation. GL1000mg supplementation for 30 days might act as a longevity-promoting tonic for endurance and strength performance by ameliorating stress to improve the overall psychophysiological health, vitality and quality of life for better cardiovascular efficacy.
心理差异通过影响心血管效率来影响久坐不动的女大学生的体力活动和健康。灵芝，增强活力的草药，可以改善健康和身心活力，提高耐力健康。进行了一项双盲、随机、安慰剂对照平行设计研究，以确定每天补充 500 毫克（GL500mg 组）和 1000 毫克（GL1000mg 组）的灵芝是否可以在实验试验的不同阶段提高心理生理健康能力。对预试验（第 0 天）、试验（第 15 天）和试验后（第 30 天后）进行了人体测量、心理、生理和体能参数的分析。78 名参与者（n = 78，年龄 20.64 ± 3.21 岁）被随机平均分配（n = 26）到三个治疗组中的一个，进行组内和组间比较。与安慰剂组相比，GL1000mg 组在试验后心率（HR）、最大摄氧量（VO2max）、体力工作能力（PWC170）和右手握力（P < 0.05）方面有显著差异。与安慰剂组相比，GL1000mg 补充组在预试验至试验后 HR、VO2max 和 PWC170（P < 0.001）方面也有显著改善。安慰剂组和 GL1000mg 组之间的试验和 GL500mg 组和 GL1000mg 组之间的试验后，VO2max（P < 0.001）和 PWC170（P < 0.05）有显著变化。焦虑、抑郁、活力和积极幸福感评分显著改善，导致 GL1000mg 补充后心理幸福感提高。30 天 GL1000mg 补充可能通过改善压力来提高耐力和力量表现，从而作为一种促进长寿的滋补品，改善整体心理生理健康、活力和生活质量，从而提高心血管功效。
