The Effects of Coenzyme Q۱۰ Supplementation with Two Consecutive Soccer Games on Stress Oxidative and Muscle Injury Markers in Male Collegiate Soccer Players

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effect of coenzyme Q۱۰ consumption for fourteen days on the response of some indicators of oxidative stress and muscle damage following two consecutive football matches in college players Materials and Methods: for this purpose, ۲۴ football players (with an average age of ۲۰.۰۸±۱۲.۱ years, a weight of ۶۳.۲۸±۶۵.۱ kg and a maximum oxygen consumption of ۵۳.۱۲± ۰.۹۸ ml /per /kg of body weight) The three groups were studied over a fourteen-day period. The control group did not receive these supplements and exercise activities, but the experimental groups included the placebo group (۳۰۰ mg aspartame) and the coenzyme Q۱۰ group (۳۰۰ mg ubiquinone supplement) during the course in addition to receiving a placebo or supplement the two ۹۰-minute football matches were less than ۴۸ hours apart. Then, according to the research plan, blood samples were collected from the subjects in two stages ۲۴ hours before and after the period and MDA, LDH, CK and AST indices were measured. Dependent t-test, one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test were also used. Results: The results showed a significant difference between serum coenzyme Q ۱۰ supplementation with serum MDA (P = ۰.۰۰۰) and AST (P = ۰.۰۰۶) concentrations from two consecutive football matches, while LDH levels (P = ۰.۹۷۰) and serum CK (P = ۰.۹۱۱) did not change significantly. Conclusion: Overall, the results show that supplementing coenzyme Q۱۰ before and during a two-week match can have anti-oxidant benefits, so it can be recommended to college soccer players.
