Nanobubbles Water Curcumin Extract Reduces Injury Risks on Drop Jumps in Women: A Pilot Study

الملخص EN

Purpose.

To verify the beneficial effects of Nanobubbles water curcumin extract (NCE) supplementation on health promotion and to demonstrate the application of NCE in reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injury.

Methods.

In the current study, 12 females were randomly assigned to NCE (15g/day) and maltodextrin groups.

Performance and related body composition were evaluated at 2 time points—presupplementation (pre-) and after 4 weeks of postsupplementation (post-).

The posttest consists of a set of biochemical parameters for antifatigue activity and injury status evaluation.

Results.

NCE group exhibited significantly lower levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), triglycerides (TG), and higher high-density lipoprotein (HDL) after a 4-week supplementation, compared with the placebo group.

After a 15-minute session on the spinning bike, serum lactate and ammonia levels were decreased and glucose was economized in the NEC group.

4-week-NCE supplementation was also able to reduce the peak vertical ground reaction force (PVGRF) during drop jump.

Therefore, the risk of musculoskeletal system in lower extremity could be reduced.

Conclusion.

We demonstrate that 4-week-NCE supplementation can also be used in explosiveness exercise for better physiological adaptation.

Thus, NCE has potential for use with nutrient supplements toward a variety of benefits for athletics.
