Effects of Coenzyme Q10 Supplementation on Oxidative Stress, Antioxidant Capacity, Inflammatory Responses, Fatigue Elimination, and Exercise Performance in Athletes

The aims of the study are 1) to compare the differences in plasma coenzyme Q10, oxidative stress, antioxidant capacity, muscle impairment, fatigue recovery, and inflammation and exercise performances in athletes (i.e., soccer, and taekwondo players) and healthy non-athletes; 2) to investigate the relationship between plasma coenzyme Q10, oxidative stress, antioxidant capacity, muscle impairment, fatigue recovery, and inflammation and exercise performances; 3) to explore the influence on plasma coenzyme Q10, oxidative stress, antioxidant capacity, muscle impairment, fatigue recovery, and inflammation and exercise performances after 12 weeks of coenzyme Q10 intervention (150 mg/day and 300 mg/day).
