Effect of the traditional Chinese herb for invigorating the kidney and benefit the primordial energy on exercise-induced fatigue in athletes
Abstract：Aim To evaluate the mechanism and effect of the traditional Chinese herb(TCH) for invigorating the kidney and benefiting the primordial energy in enhancing motor function and on anti-fatigue in athletes. Methods By double blind and placebo control, 51 athletes were randomly divided into two groups: test group (n=26) (taking TCH preparation) and control group (n=25) (taking placebo). The anaerobic threshold rate in 4 mmol lactic acid and the concentrations of serum testosterone (T) and free testosterone (FT) were measured, and Wingate test was performed in all subjects before and after treatment.Results In the control group before and after experiment, the parameters above did not change obviously. Compared with those before treatment, AT duty, the peak and average values of anaerobic power were increased in the test group after treatment, the fatigue degree was decreased, the exhausting time was prolonged, and the levels of T and FT were significantly increased. Conclusion TCH preparation for invigorating the kidney and benefiting the primordial energy significantly helps athletes to enhance the abilities of anti-fatigue as well as abilities of exercise and increase serum hormone level, which also plays a marked role in the improvement of exercise-induced fatigue.
