Background: Muscle damage during continuous and intensive sports activities is common; therefore, experts in the field of medicine pay special attention to this issue. Objectives: We investigated short-term effect high-dose vitamin C E supplements on serum levels creatine kinase (CK) myoglobin elite athletes Sanda field. Methods: This research was a parallel single-blind randomized study design which were matched based weight randomly assigned + supplement (n = 10) placebo groups 10). Subjects took (1400 U per day) (2000 for 4 days (3 before competition day). Blood sampling done morning 24 hours later (the following measure CK myoglobin. Results: The level had significant decrease group (P 0.001; mean ± SD: 237.2 19.28), significantly increased SD, 41.1 1.97) compared with group. Also, paired sample t test showed that decreased pretest, 307.7 5.56; posttest, 19.28) 0.005; 24.2 2.7; group, respectively, pretest values. However, no difference observed Conclusions: Short-term intake vitamins can facilitate recovery competitive events such as Sanda. claim be defended changes blood athletes.
