摘要
Herbs have a long history of use as traditional medicines to enhance athletic performance. The following herbs are currently used to enhance athletic performance, mostly regardless of scientific evidence of effect: Ginsengs, ephedra, guarana, Tribulus terrestris, kava, St. John's wort, yhombine and ginkgo. Controlled studies for the potential ergogenic effects of herbs are limited and the results are controversial. Future research on ergogenic effects of herbs should consider identity and amount of substance or presumed active ingredients administered, dose, and duration of test period, proper experimental protocols, and measurement of psychological and physiological parameters and measurements of performance pertinent to intended uses. This review focuses mainly on most common herbs that are used to enhance athletic performance at present.
