Abstract

AIM: To study the effect of Huangqi Jianzhong Tang in reducing fatigue
improvement in athletes.
METHODS: Twelve athletes were randomly separated into a control group, whose
members were administered with placebos, and the experimental group, whose
members were administered with Huangqi Jianzhong Tang. During the eight weeks of
the experiment, test subjects continued exercise as usual. Preliminary and final
exhaustion times, anaerobic thresholds, and kinetic energies were determined.
RESULTS: Huangqi Jianzhong Tang might increase exhaustion time, positively
influence anaerobic threshold, and also enhance recovery from fatigue.
CONCLUSION: Huangqi Jianzhong Tang reduced fatigue by increasing the oxygen
uptake and the systemic utility of oxygen.
