Study of Ginger and Cinnamon consumption on body composition, exercise performance and biochemical inflammatory indexes in female martial athletes in Isfahan clubs
This study is designed to evaluate the effects of ginger and cinnamon consumption on body composition, exercise performance, muscle soreness, serum level of IL6 and MDA in female martial athletes in Isfahan clubs.
We will conduct a randomized double blind placebo-controlled clinical trial involving sixty apparently healthy, well-trained female martial athletes (aged 13-25 yr) who exercised at least three times a week for 3 years. Participants will consume either 3 grams of ginger, cinnamon or placebo powder per day with daily drinks, depending on their groups for 6 weeks. Participants will be asked to record food intake in every 2 weeks of the trial for four times. Body composition, exercise performance, muscle soreness, inflammation and oxidative stress indexes and serum level of IL-6 and MDA will be determined in the beginning and at the end of the study and will be compared among ginger, cinnamon and placebo groups.
