Abstract

Psychological disparities impact physical activity and fitness in sedentary female college students by affecting cardiovascular efficiency. Ganoderma lucidum, vitality-enhancing herb alleviates health and rejuvenates the mind-body to improve endurance fitness. A double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled parallel design study was conducted to determine whether supplementation of G. lucidum in daily dosages of 500 mg and 1000 mg improves psychophysiological health capabilities during the different phases of the experimental trial. Analysis for pre-experimental trial (0 day), experimental trial (15thday), and post-experimental trial (after 30th day) on anthropometric, psychological, physiological and physical fitness parameters were executed. Seventy-eight participants (n=78, age=20.64±3.21 years) were assigned randomly and equally divided (n=26) to one of the three treatment groups for intragroup and intergroup comparisons. Significant differences in the post-experimental G. lucidum1000mg supplementation group for heart rate (HR), maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), physical work capacity (PWC170) and right-hand grip strength (p<0.05) in comparison to the placebo group were observed. G. lucidum1000mgsupplemented group also significantly improved (p<0.05) HR, VO2 max and PWC170 (p<0.001) after pre- to post-trials. Experimental trial between placebo and G.lucidum1000mg group and post-experimental trial between G. lucidum500mg and G. lucidum1000mg group showed significant changes in VO2max (p<0.001) and PWC170 (p<0.05). Anxiety, depression, vitality and positive wellbeing scores significantly improved, leading to improved psychological well-being after G. lucidum1000mg supplementation. G. lucidum1000mg supplementation for 30 days might act as a longevity-promoting tonic for endurance and strength performance by ameliorating stress to improve the overall psychophysiological health, vitality and quality of life for better cardiovascular efficacy.

补充灵芝或灵芝药用蘑菇灵芝（姬松茸）对印度西孟加拉邦女大学生心理压力和选择性体能特征参数的功效

心理差异通过影响心血管效率来影响久坐女大学生的体育锻炼和体能。灵芝是一种增强生命力的草药，它能缓解健康状况，恢复身心活力，从而提高耐力。研究人员进行了一项双盲、随机、安慰剂对照的平行设计研究，以确定在实验的不同阶段，以每天 500 毫克和 1000 毫克的剂量补充灵芝是否能改善心理生理健康能力。对实验前（0 天）、实验中（第 15 天）和实验后（第 30 天后）的人体测量、心理、生理和体能参数进行了分析。78 名参与者（n=78，年龄=20.64±3.21 岁）被随机平均分配到三个治疗组中的一个组（n=26），进行组内和组间比较。与安慰剂组相比，实验后补充 G. lucidum1000mg 组的心率（HR）、最大耗氧量（VO2max）、体力劳动能力（PWC170）和右手握力（p<0.05）均有显著差异。从试验前到试验后，补充绿藻1000毫克的组也显著改善了（p<0.05）心率、最大氧消耗量和PWC170（p<0.001）。安慰剂组与灵芝 1000 毫克组之间的实验试验以及灵芝 500 毫克组与灵芝 1000 毫克组之间的实验后试验显示，VO2max（p<0.001）和 PWC170（p<0.05）均有显著变化。焦虑、抑郁、活力和积极健康评分均有明显改善，这表明在补充了1000毫克绿巨人后，心理健康得到了改善。连续30天补充G. lucidum1000mg可作为一种长寿滋补品，通过改善压力来提高耐力和力量表现，从而改善整体心理生理健康、活力和生活质量，提高心血管功效。
