Record History

  1. Study First Submitted
This study will test whether six weeks of ashwagandha (KSM-66 root extract), helps teenage footballers recover and improve strength. Very little research has looked at young people aged 11 to 19, despite increased usage in this cohort. About 50 to 60 male and female players from grassroots clubs in Sussex, Surrey and Greater London will be randomly assigned to take a daily capsule of either 450 mg ashwagandha or a placebo in an unblinded fashion. Before and after the six weeks, players will do tests at their usual training site: saliva samples to measure the cortisol, grip strength, a 1 km time trial, and short questionnaires on recovery, sleep, stress and soreness. The results will show whether ashwagandha changes stress, strength, performance and perceived recovery over six weeks.
