dc.description.abstract | Background: The present study examined the acute effects of a nutritional supplement intended
to improve adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentrations on vertical jump height, isometric
strength of the leg extensors, leg extension endurance, and forearm flexion endurance.
Methods: Twenty-four healthy men (mean age ± SD = 23 ± 4 yrs, stature = 181 ± 7 cm, and body
mass = 82 ± 12 kg) volunteered to complete a familiarization trial plus 2 randomly-ordered
experimental trials separated by a 7-day washout period. Participants received either 6 (body mass
< 91 kg) or 8 (body mass ≥ 91 kg) tablets of the treatment (TR; 625 mg of adenylpyrophosphoric
acid and calcium pyruvate, 350.8 mg of cordyceps sinensis extract and yohimbine hydrochloride)
or placebo (PL; 980 mg of microcrystalline cellulose) 1 hour prior to the following tests:
countermovement vertical jump (CVJ), forearm flexion repetitions to exhaustion, isometric
maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs) of the leg extensors, and a 50-repetition maximal
concentric isokinetic leg extension endurance test.
Results: There were no differences between the TR and PL trials for CVJ height (P > 0.05),
isometric MVC peak torque (P > 0.05), maximal concentric isokinetic peak torque (P > 0.05),
percent decline during the leg extension endurance tests (P > 0.05), or repetitions to exhaustion
during the forearm flexion endurance tests (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: These findings indicated no improvements in the measured variables as a result of
ingesting this nutritional supplement. Future studies should examine whether chronic
supplementation or a loading period is necessary to observe any ergogenic effects of this
supplement. | |
