Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Effect of vitamin C and ginger on lactate dehydrogenase enzyme in athletes. Timepoint: A: On the first day after performing the training protocols, a 5cc blood sample is taken from the basilic vein of the arm. B: After fourteen days of taking the supplement, blood sampling is done on the fourteenth day and after repeating the training protocols. Method of measurement: After blood sampling, the amount of lactate dehydrogenase enzyme is measured in the laboratory using the LDH-P kit according to the optimal standard method of the German Biochemical Society (OPT.DGKC).;Effect of vitamin C and ginger on Creatine kinase enzyme of athletes. Timepoint: A: On the first day after performing the training protocols, a 5cc blood sample is taken from the basilic vein of the arm. B: After fourteen days of taking the supplement, blood sampling is done on the fourteenth day and after repeating the training protocols. Method of measurement: After blood sampling, the amount of creatine enzyme is measured in the laboratory using the CK-NAC kit using the optimal standard method of the German Biochemical Society (OPT.DGKC).;The effect of vitamin C and ginger on the hematology of athletes. Timepoint: A: On the first day after performing the training protocols, a 5cc blood sample is taken from the basilic vein of the arm. B: After fourteen days of taking the supplement, blood sampling is done on the fourteenth day and after repeating the training protocols. Method of measurement: After blood sampling, complete blood cell count (CBC) is done in the laboratory.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Increasing anaerobic power. Timepoint: A: The first day of performing training protocols based on the anaerobic test. B: After fourteen days of taking the supplement, on the fourteenth day, exercise protocols are performed based on the Rest Anaerobic Test. Method of measurement: Based on the subject's weight and the time recorded each time over a distance of 35 meters.;Improved fatigue index. Timepoint: A: The first day of performing training protocols based on the anaerobic test. B: After fourteen days of taking the supplement, on the fourteenth day, exercise protocols are performed based on the Rest Anaerobic Test. Method of measurement: The difference between the peak power and the minimum power, divided by the minimum power, multiplied by a percentage.
