Increasing Endurance In Physical Effort By Administration Of Inosine

The use of banned substances in order to increase the performance capacity is one of the most widespread problems in the entire sports world. This study intended to provide an alternative for sustaining intense training or a training with a high-load of competitive means. Particularly, performing martial arts require good endurance to accomplish the technical actions under the normal parameters where the body may lose energy, vitamins, and many minerals. The present qualitative study assessed the impact of a dietary supplement containing inosine, on performance in 30 athletes, with a competitive experience of about 6 - 8 years. The objective was to establish the level of endurance at different times for athletes who practice martial arts in both full contact and semi-contact systems. Thus, depending on the type of sport practiced, results recorded in the endurance tests, following the administration of inosine based supplements, showed an improvement in the athletes who practice a martial art of full contact type that requires a good endurance to perform technical actions in speed-strength regime.
