Abstract Background and Objectives
The aim of this quasi-experimental study is to investigate the effect of 6 weeks of progressive endurance training and Silymarin supplementation intake on hematological parameters in sedentary men (age: 25 ± 5 years, weight 86 ± 21, height 178 ± 13, BMI 27 ± 5).
Materials and Methods
To this end, twenty-one students from Shahrood University of Technology who were willing to participate in the study were chosen for the study. The subjects were then randomly divided into supplemental groups (n=11) and placebo groups (n=10). Both groups received progressive endurance training. The control group received placebo while the experimental or supplemental group received Silymarin. Blood samples were collected before and after 6 weeks of exercise training and supplementation intake. Hematological parameters such as RBC, MON, RBC, HCT, PLT were measured. Data were then analyzed using repeated measure (2×2).
Results
Hematological parameters such as RBC, MON, RBC, HCT, PLT were measured. Data were analyzed using repeated measure (2×2).
Conclusions
The results of this study showed that Silymarin supplementation and progressive endurance training not only increases hemoglobin factor but also reduces monocytes, erythrocytes, and hematocrit factors significantly (P≤0.05).
