“…In the context of post-activity, and even following sports-related trauma or muscle injuries, it has been suggested that Astragalus supplementation might potentially expedite athletes' recuperation [34]. In a trial with eleven male participants receiving astragalosides supplementation (4 mg per day for a week) or placebo pills, the intervention effectively reduced biomarkers associated with muscle damage and inhibited the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α), while simultaneously increasing the release of the muscle regenerative factor IGF-1 during the initial phases of the recovery process [35].…”

The aim of this systematic review is to study the effects of Astragalus membranaceus (Huangqi) supplementation for sports activity and physical performance. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were systematically searched for relevant studies from inception up until October 2023. Eleven clinical studies were considered eligible for inclusion (six of them involved the administration of Huangqi alone, while, in the remaining trials, this herb was supplemented in combination with other remedies). On average, the number of study participants ranged from 8 to 120, and the sports activities practiced by the subjects included martial arts, mountain hiking, basketball, rowing, running, aerobic exercises, and strength training. When a dried extract was used, Astragalus was taken at a daily dose of 1 to 4 g for several weeks. Huangqi supplementation was associated with improvements in aerobic performance, oxidative status, reticulocytes percentage, and response to acclimatization, without a specific effect on the athletes’ strength. Better post-exercise immune functions were also observed, especially with regard to NK cell activity, IL-2 levels, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, and lymphocyte turnover. No adverse effects were described. In conclusion, Astragalus supplementation has the potential to decrease fatigue, enhance aerobic performance, and mitigate post-exercise immune suppression in athletes. It is advisable to conduct additional research on the subject to enhance the robustness of the existing evidence through larger-scale controlled trials.

“…Intensifying training effectiveness hinges on injury prevention and expediting the recovery process, which plays a pivotal role in harnessing the body's adaptive response to exercise stress (Impellizzeri et al, 2020). Consequently, after intense physical exertion, individuals may encounter exercise-induced muscle damage, a phenomenon commonly recognized as delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) (Barnes, 2023;Setiawan et al, 2022). DOMS, characterized by muscle discomfort or pain, is frequently associated with various forms of muscle contractions, including isometric, concentric, eccentric, or combinations thereof (Mautner & Sussman, 2016;Ruas et al, 2022).…”

Understanding the significance of efficient post-exercise recovery methods in alleviating muscle damage and addressing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) among athletes following plyometric circuit training. The study aimed to determine the effect of dynamic stretching in water (active pool-based) and sports massage (SM) on muscle damage indices post-plyometric circuit training. A total of 30 participants were divided into three control groups and one experimental group, who were given two recovery protocols (APB + BCAA and sports massage) after the trial. Data were statistically analysed using a one-way ANOVA test with post-test measurements and a Bonferroni test (P < 0.05). It is concluded that statistically the APB + BCAA post-hoc test with SM did not show any significance. However, on average, APB + BCAA was preferable at reducing DOMS symptoms; measurements 3 and 4 in the intervention groups also showed a significant effect on the control group. The study findings underscore the valuable contribution of active recovery in water and the use of supplements in improving initial recovery outcomes after strenuous exercise or sports, aligning with the exercise recovery principle that highlights the inseparable relationship between nutrition and soft tissue modalities.

OBJECTIVES This study was performed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of kinesio taping on exercise-induced muscle damage and provide guidelines for field application.METHODS To review the literature, we searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Wiley Online Library using keywords including “kinesio taping,” “exercise-induced muscle damage,” “eccentric muscle contraction,” “delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS).”RESULTS Previous studies have shown that kinesio taping effectively reduces exercise-induced muscle damage (particularly DOMS). The ‘convolutions’ characteristics of kinesio taping are assumed to be the primary contributor to these results. Some mechanical or neurological mechanism may also exert a substantial effect. For field applications, the application period, tension, and type of KT interventions should be considered.CONCLUSIONS Kinesio taping may be a useful tool to promote recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage. Some aspects of kinesio-taping and its therapeutic mechanisms require further study.
