| description | Owing to the reputation of <i>Kaempferia parviflora</i> and the crucial role of oxidative stress on the disturbance of physical fitness, the effect of a functional drink containing <i>K. parviflora</i> extract (KP) on the physical fitness of healthy adult volunteers was assessed. Healthy male and female volunteers (19–60 years old) were randomly divided into placebo, KP90, and KP180 groups. All the subjects in KP90 and KP180 were directed to consume a functional drink containing <i>K. parviflora</i> extract at doses of 90 and 180 mg per serving per 80 mL, respectively. Parameters of physical fitness, including cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and body composition, together with changes in lactate, creatinine kinase, and oxidative stress markers were assessed before the intervention, and at 6 and 12 weeks of intervention. The oxidative stress markers, creatine kinase, and lactate were also measured. Subjects who consumed the developed drink had increased VO<sub>2</sub> max and improved performance in a timed shuttle run test and 5 min distance run, and exhibited decreased oxidative stress and lactate; therefore, <i>K. parviflora</i> extract can be successfully used for developing a KP drink to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and physical performance by improving oxidative stress and lactate. |
