| Abstract |
This study was designed to investigate cardiovascular responses and the recovery from muscle damage after the anti-aging intravenous therapy (AAIT) (once in 2 days, total 14 treatments) in 10 college soccer players. The hemodynamic responses and muscle damage fatigue factors were assessed before and after the AAIT treatment. Muscle damage was induced with 50 min downhill running at the intensity of 75% of VO2max). The cardiovascular responses were measured by a non-invasive device Physio flow during exercise. After the treatment, There were no statistical differences in the levels of both La and VO2max levels, while the rapid recovery occurred in the level of the GOT, CK, and ammonia compared to before the treatment (from 30.1±3.01 to 23.7±2.22 U/L; from 277±36.92 U/L to 174.2±40.8 U/L; 113.0±6.13 ug/dL to 75.2±2.92 ug/dL, respectively). Total vascular conductance, stroke volume, and cardiac output were significantly improved after the AAIT treatment. Thus, the results indicated that the AAIT treatment may increase oxygen delivery to active skeletal muscle and improve the recovery from muscle damage. Our study suggests that the AAIT treatment could enhance exercise performance and intervene muscle damage in athletes during intense exercise. |
