Abstract
Background: Wrestling is an intense and short-term sport with explosive activities, and the phosphagen and anaerobic glycolysis energy system is dominant in it, and the concentration of lactate, muscle damage, and inflammation indicators increase significantly in the wrestling match. The use of some food and herbal supplements leads to the reduction of muscle damage and inflammatory reactions. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate the effect of curcumin supplementation on inflammatory factors in a simulated wrestling tournament.
Methods: A randomized trial involved the participation of twenty-four male wrestlers. These wrestlers were divided into two groups, with each group consisting of twelve individuals. One group was assigned to consume 1 gram of curcumin, while the other group consumed a placebo consisting of 0.1 g/kg of body weight of maltodextrin. This daily consumption continued for a duration of five days leading up to the competitions. The wrestlers participated in 5 wrestling matches for 6 minutes in 2 times of 3 minutes with 30 seconds of rest, with an interval of 45 minutes between each match. To measure blood factors, before supplementation, after five days of supplementation (before the start of competitions) and after the last competition, blood samples were taken, and blood lactate was measured 30 minutes before the first competition and immediately after each competition by lactometer.
Results: The results showed that curcumin supplementation had a significant effect on lactate levels (F=1.03, p<0.05) and creatine kinase levels (F=0.477, p<0.05), but not on lactate dehydrogenase (F=1.41, p>0.05) or C-reactive protein levels (F=0.741, p>0.05).
Conclusion: Therefore, curcumin supplementation may be effective in reducing muscle damage and blood lactate levels in wrestlers during a wrestling tournament.
