Changes in Some Biochemical Indicators and Fatigue Index in Response to Magnesium Lactate Supplementation Combined with a Specialized Training Program in Advanced Basketball Players
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effect of magnesium lactate supplementation, combined with an intensive 8-week training program, on changes in muscle enzyme levels (CpK, LDH) in basketball players. These changes will be compared with a control group following the same training program but without supplementation. The study aims to determine whether magnesium lactate supplementation contributes to improving muscle recovery capacity and affecting the fatigue index. The research objectives were to identify the effect of magnesium lactate supplementation combined with the training program on some biochemical variables and the fatigue index in the experimental research sample. The hypotheses were that there were statistically significant differences between the post-tests in the control and experimental groups. After applying the program for 8 weeks, several conclusions were reached, including that the dietary supplement has a clear effect on delaying fatigue (muscle endurance). The researcher recommended paying attention to nutritional supplements during training units, especially supplements that help produce energy and delay the onset of fatigue
