Description
Summary:Aims This study is intended to investigate the effects of Phoneix Dactylifera pollen on markers of delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) induced by eccentric resistance exercise in female athletes. Methods Thirty-six female athletes were randomly selected and equally divided into 3 groups of 12 subjects, including: (1) 100 mg of P. dactylifera , (2) 200 mg of P. dactylifera , and (3) 100 mg of starch (placebo). Having received 10-day supplementation based on their groups label, all participants performed a bout of eccentric leg curl exercise by lying leg curl machine (five sets, three repetitions, each set with 110–130% one-repetition maximum, 1-min rest between sets). The blood samples were collected before and 1, 2, 3 and 4 days after the exercise. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a significance level of P
