Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of six weeks of endurance training and ginseng supplement consumption on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived growth factor levels in unathletes female student. Materials and Methods: In this study, 32 unathlete female students of Gorgan University (Iran) with the mean age of 20 ±2 years were randomly divided into endurance, endurance and ginseng, ginseng and control groups. Endurance training consisted of six weeks training with three sessions per week and each session was 70 minutes. The program of intermittent running was with intensity of 60-80% maximum heart rate. Ginseng extract was orally consumed (5 mg/kg/day for six weeks). Results: No significant effects of six weeks of endurance training together with ginseng supplement were found on the levels of VEGF (P
