Abstract

Aims: Antioxidant supplements can mitigate muscle damage and oxidative stress induced by sports activities. So, in the present study the potential impact of tartaric acid on inflammatory indicators, muscle damage, and anaerobic capacity among young male soccer players was investigated.
Methods: Twenty-four young male soccer players (average age: 23.94±1.87 years; weight: 74.37±5.77 kg; maximum oxygen consumption: 48.01±6.80 ml/kg/min) were randomly allocated into two homogenous groups (matched for VO2max) receiving either tartaric acid (n=12) or a placebo (n=12) at a dosage of 20 mg per kilogram of body weight. Blood samples were collected 24 hours prior to and 10 minutes and 24 hours after a RAST test. Statistical analysis was conducted using a 2 x 3 repeated measurements analysis of variance at a significance level of 0.05 employing SPSS statistical software version 24.
Results: The supplement group exhibited significantly higher average power performance and peak anaerobic power compared to the placebo group. Moreover, the group × time interaction showed significance in MDA and TAC indices (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was observed between the two groups in IL-6, lactate, creatine kinase, and lactate dehydrogenase levels (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The study suggests that tartaric acid consumption contributes to enhanced peak and average anaerobic power, increased total antioxidant capacity, and reduced inflammation and oxidative stress resulting from anaerobic power tests. These effects are likely attributed to the polyphenolic and antioxidant properties of tartaric acid.
