Running Athletes Exercise Genetics Nutritional Supplementation
Conditions
Interventions
47 athletes were tested for the acute effects of supplementation with grape juice or control drink. First the athletes performed a 3,200 meter test on an official athletics track to characterize maxim

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria were defined as: athletes should have been training for at least one year with a frequency of at least four weekly sessions and for at least two months without interruption and taking part in competitions regularly. They also should not have any chronic condition or degenerative diseases, did not smoke, and were not using any long-term medication.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Participants should not consume purple grapes or their derivatives often; and/or dietary supplements, vitamins or bioactive substances present in the grape (polyphenols). Athletes who suffered from skeletal muscle injuries, altered dietary habits or had inconsistent training patterns, started using medication or did not perform some of the study experimental procedures were also excluded.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement of the performance in athletes in the treadmill running test, after supplementation with 10ml / kg of grape juice.;Significantly higher 10.1% improvement in performance (running time on a treadmill) after supplementation with grape juice compared to the control drink (57.2 ± 17.6 versus 54.0 ± 18.9 minutes, p < 0.02; d = 0.17. 9.0% improvement in performance (running time on a treadmill) in the group with GG + CG genotypes of the SOD3 gene compared to the CC genotype (58.4 ± 18.7 vs 53.8 ± 14.2; 3 , 4 ± 9.7 minutes more, p <0.03; d = 0.70. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| A slight difference was noted in Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC), since the CC genotype of the SOD3 gene showed higher TAC values in the post-exercise compared to the baseline and with pre-exercise, but these values were not increased compared to the CG+GG group, respectively. ;The SOD3 and PPARa genes were similar at all times for the other biochemical variables (malondialdehyde (MDA), plasma nitrite (NO), creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) | — |
