        Introduction: Delayed onset muscle soreness is one of the problems in people starting exercise and researchers are looking for ways to reduce it. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of a period of salvia extract supplementation on the indicators of delayed onset muscle soreness following exhaustive eccentric exercise in non-athlete women.Materials and Methods: 20 non-athlete women aged 20 to 30 years were randomly divided into two groups of placebo and salvia extract. On the pre-test day, both groups participated in an exhaustive eccentric activity. Then, for two weeks, the supplement group received salvia extract, and the placebo group received flour powder (200 mg/kg daily with similar capsules). After two weeks, both groups participated in the same physical activity similar to the pre-test (post-test). Blood samples were taken before and 24 hours after both activities and muscle pain were measured. CK, LDH, GPX, SOD, MDA, TNF-α, IL-1β, CRP, and lactate levels were measured for each blood sample. To examine the changes in the variables, an analysis of variance mixed with repeated measures and an independent t-test at the level of P≤0.05 were used.Findings: The results showed that muscle pain and levels of CK, LDH, GPX, MDA, TNF-α, IL-1β, CRP, and lactate increased significantly after eccentric exhaustion activity, but their increase was significantly lower in the salvia extract group than in the placebo group (P=0.036, P=0.043, P=0.009, P=0.001, P=0.006, P=0.002, P=0.007, P=0.005, and P=0.011, respectively).Conclusion: Short-term salvia extract supplementation may reduce the rate of increase in delayed onset muscle soreness following an exhaustive eccentric exercise due to flavonoids and phenolic compounds.

        Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigation of the effect of 12 weeks aerobic training and consumption of olibanum extract on cognitive status and BDNF levels in the elderly with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Materials and Methods: 32 elderly people who scored between 21 and 25 in the MMSE questionnaire were purposefully selected and randomly divided into 4 groups: aerobic training, olibanum, aerobic training + olibanum, and placebo (N=8 in each group). Interventions were performed for 12 weeks. Aerobic training consisted of eight minutes of running with an intensity of 75 to 85% of the maximum reserve heart rate in the first session. Both sessions increased running time by one minute until after 12 weeks, the running time reached 26 minutes. Olibanum extract was taken as a capsule at a dose of 100 mg/kg body weight per day.Findings: BDNF levels in both training and training + olibanum groups increased significantly compared to the other two groups (P <0.05). Cognitive status also increased significantly in the three groups of intervention compared with the placebo group (P <0.05).Conclusion: It is possible that 12 weeks of aerobic training and olibanum can slow and possibly stop the progression of MCI by improving the cognitive status in the elderly with MCI.

        Introduction: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of beetroot supplementation on oxidative stress and delayed onset muscle soreness after an exhaustive eccentric exercise in competitive soccer players. Materials and Methods: 20 male competitive football players of Mashhad, aged between 17 and 19 years, were randomly assigned to placebo and beetroot groups. On the pre-test day, both groups participated in an exhaustive eccentric exercise. Then, for 2 weeks, the supplement group received beetroot extract and the placebo group received flour powder (200 mg daily dose with identical capsules). After two weeks, both groups again participated in the same physical activity as the pre-test (post-test). Before and 24 hours after both activities, blood samples were taken and muscle pain was measured. CK, LDH, GPX, SOD and MDA levels were measured for each blood sample.Findings: The results showed that muscle pain and levels of CK, LDH, GPX and MDA increased significantly after eccentric exercise, but their increase in the beetroot group was significantly lower than the placebo group (P<0.05).Conclusion: Probably, the short-term supplementation of beet reduces the rate of delayed onset muscle soreness following a bout of eccentric resistance activity due to its antioxidant substances.
