Objective: Considering the importance of using herbal antioxidants in preventing muscle damage and inflammatory indicators, the aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of eight weeks of pomegranate supplementation and resistance training on CRP, CK, and LDH levels in male bodybuilders.
Method: 20 male bodybuilders in a semi-experimental design with a body mass index of 27.51±2.77 were randomly placed in two groups: pomegranate supplement+resistance training (10 people) and placebo+resistance training (10 people). The supplement group received 200 mg pomegranate capsules daily and the placebo group received 200 mg dextrose capsules daily for eight weeks. Also, the subjects of the supplemental and placebo groups performed a resistance training program 5 sessions per week, with an intensity of 60-80%, and a maximum repetition in the pyramid method during the supplementation period. Blood samples were taken in order to measure muscle damage and inflammation indices, during fasting conditions, in two stages, pre-test and post-test. Data analysis was done using independent t-test and dependent t-test with significance level (P≤0.05).
Findings: Serum levels of creatine kinase in both groups showed a decrease from pre-test to post-test; In such a way that it decreased by 33.44% in the supplement+resistance training group and 12.98% in the placebo+resistance training group, which was significant only in the supplement + resistance training group (p=0.003). Also, lactate dehydrogenase values decreased by 7.82% in the supplement+resistance training group and by 3.82% in the placebo+resistance training group, which was significant in the supplement+resistance training group (p=0.008). CRP values also decreased by 36.56% in the supplement group+resistance exercise and by 10% in the placebo group+resistance exercise, this decrease was significant in the supplement+resistance exercise group (p=0.003). Also, a significant difference in CRP levels was observed between the two research groups (p=0.017). While in muscle damage indices, no significant difference between groups was observed (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that eight weeks of pomegranate supplementation and resistance training had an effect in reducing muscle damage and inflammation indicators. Although the effect of pomegranate supplement on the inflammatory index (CRP) was much higher than the muscle damage indices (CK, LDH). Therefore, the consumption of pomegranate supplements can have beneficial effects to reduce the incidence of inflammatory symptoms and muscle damage; Therefore, bodybuilders can use pomegranate supplements to reduce inflammation and muscle damage during exercise.
