Abstract

BACKGROUND: Ginseng has been used as an ergogenic agent, although evidence for its effectiveness is weak. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of a ginsenoside complex (UG0712) on changes in exercise performance.

METHODS: Sedentary individuals (

RESULTS: Both ginsenoside groups showed significant increases in VO

CONCLUSION: High-dose ginsenoside supplementation (UG0712) augmented the improvement of aerobic capacity by exercise training.

Keywords: Panax ginseng; cardiopulmonary exercise test; ginsenoside; randomized controlled trial
