The Effect of Taking Ginger Supplement and Progressive Endurance Training on Cellular Damage in Non-Athlete Men

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 6 weeks of progressive endurance training and ginger supplementation intake of cellular damage in non-athletes men student. Twenty-two subjects in this study (student of Shahroud University) were randomly divided to supplemental groups (n= 11) and placebo (n= 11) groups. Then both groups performed progressive endurance training for 6 weeks Moreover individuals were consumed ginger supplements or placebo. Blood samples were taken at first and at the end of 6 weeks. A significant increase in the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase concentrations were observed after 6 weeks of progressive endurance training. Moreover ginger supplementation also has significant effect on LDH levels. These results indicate that cellular damage induced by 6 weeks progressive endurance training. Can be significantly attenuated by ginger supplementation. However, a further study to determine the beneficial effects of ginger supplementation with different doses and during different periods is required.
