Influence of Electrophoresis of Antler Mass on Restorative Processes in Young Athletes during the Preparatory Period of a One-Year Training Cycle

Abstract

We investigated the influence of electrophoresis of antler mass (according to Vermel’s method) on the peripheral blood and indicators of cardiac function in elite athletes during intensive exercise during the preparatory period. This study included 27 male athletes, aged 16-17 years old. Application of electrophoresis of antler mass led to improvement of hemoglobin level and hematocrit, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), normalization of hormonal status and myocardial metabolism, and promoted increased fitness and adaptability to physical stress.
