摘要：The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ginseng and glutamine supplementation on peak andmean anaerobic power output. Handball players (n=40) were volunteered for this study. Weight and heightof the players were measured and the age range was between 17-24 years old (20.7±4.3). The ExperimentalGroup (n=20) that n=10 for ginseng supplementation and n=10 for glutamine supplementation was givenglutamine treatment of 0.3g/kg/day of glutamine for a period of six weeks and 400 mg ginseng daily. ControlGroup (n=20) for two supplementations had no treatment. Each participant performed the Wingate Test on aMonark 894e arm ergometer. Peak power and mean power were determined as the highest and averagepower achieved during any 30s of the test. There was a significant effect (p<0.05) of the supplementationson Wmax producing a higher value post-test than the pre-test. The ginseng supplement had more significanteffects (p<0.05) on the mean and peak power under anaerobic circumstances in compare to the glutaminesupplementation. It concluded to suggest other dosages of ginseng and glutamine should be investigated.Further research could assess the influence of ginseng and glutamine intake and intensive physical exerciseinvolving athletes of other sports and using other performance traits, such as athletic skill elements.
