DHA, Kadın Sporcularda Kırmızı Kan Hücresi Fonksiyonunu ve Dayanıklılığı Artırıyor
A study in semi-professional female soccer players found that four months of DHA and whey protein supplementation increased the HS-Omega-3 Index from 5.3% to 9.1% and was associated with changes in erythrocyte membranes, potentially supporting red blood cell deformability, microvascular perfusion, tissue oxygenation and endurance. While sprint, jump and anaerobic threshold performance did not significantly improve and menstrual symptoms remained unchanged, the findings highlight a potential role for omega-3 fatty acids, DHA, oxygen transport, erythrocyte function and endurance performance in female athletes.
