Protocol summary

Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effect of garlic allicin and vitamin C on delayed muscle soreness, creatine kinase enzymes and lactate dehydrogenase in athletes. For this reason, 30 individuals among 72 volunteer club male karate athletes who aged between 16-18 years with healthy cardiovascular, pulmonary and renal system, also without consumption of any antioxidant supplements including vitamins C, E,… and anti-inflammation drugs, were selected randomly and were divided into 3 different groups of garlic allicin, vitamin C and placebo and consumed the supplements 14 days and 2 days pre and post- physical activity, respectively. 14 days after supplement consumption, the contestants ran on the treadmill with gradient of -5% and 75% heart rate reserve (HRR). In order to measure the variables of the study (CK and LDH), the blood samples of the contestants were collected 14 days pre and post supplement consumption and also 24, 1 and 48 hours post physical activity.
