COMPARATIVE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS ON PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE AND MUSCLE RECOVERY

Abstract

Dietary supplements play a reactive role in the human body; they perform the role of signaling molecules, which are important for the immune system, expression, and regulation of signal pathways.  Conversely, depending on many parameters such as age, physical activity duration, training condition, intensity, and genetic summary can be a reason for the amassing and overproduction of oxidants/anti-oxidants, leading to muscle distress and structural impairment. The research was based on primary data analysis to determine whether the study used SPSS and AMOS software and generated results between them. Additionally, many sports happen in pre-seasons, and athletes have their training session on the same day, which leads to the formation of nitrogen and Oxygen reactive and inflammatory constituents. Therefore, there is a need for some ways to reduce these effects and increase the performance and recovery of athletes. There is an existing indication that using dietary supplements and dietary sources like fruits, cereals, and vegetables can reduce oxidative stress, post-exercise swelling, and immune defects and improve metabolic recovery and strength of muscles, thus all advantageous to what sports and athletes demand. Overall, the result was a direct and significant impact of dietary supplements on physical performance and muscle recovery.
