Abstract

The use of specialized products with specific functions iscrucial in professional sports, as high-performance athletics is characterized by significant emotional stress and a high level of physical activity. Clinical trials were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed specialized product, which was introduced into the diet of highly qualified athletes, including swimmers, road cyclists, and biathletes. The athletes of the main group included a biologically active supplement (BAS) in their diet for 20 days, taking one tablet during breakfast and lunch. The control group did not take any dietary supplement. All study participants had the same living conditions and standard eating plans. It was found that in the main group of swimmers after the diet therapy, the average cyclic power (T-1) increased to 139.5 ± 23.3 W (P < 0.05), while in the control group these indicators were 127.2 ± 17.3 W. In road cyclists, the power of physical activity increased by 8% (at the level of PAN-2) with a consistent increase in heart rate to 170, 180, and 185 beats/min., which guarantees energy supply to muscles with an economic and increasing effect of 810% (in the control group, such changes were not found). Biathletes showed increased oxygen consumption and exercise power at a constant heart rate (P < 0.05). The obtained materials can serve as evidence of the functional effectiveness of the combined use of the food supplement to increase the functional capabilities of athletes in the pre-competition period.
