Dragan GI, Vasiliu A, Georgescu E, Dumas I: Studies concerning chronic and acute effects of L-carnitine on some biologicalparameters in elite athletes. Physiologie 1987 Jan;24(1):23-28Chronic and acute effects of L-carnitine have been recorded in a group of eliteathletes by a prospective double blind placebo controlled trial. Forty topathletes (20 boys, kayak-canoe, 10 weightlifters and 10 girls, rowers) receivedorall 3 g L-carnitine daily for 3 weeks while 38 top athletes (20 kayak-canoe,8 weightlifters and 10 rowers) received the same medicine as placebo.Significant changes were registered in the treated group concerning FFA andtriglycerides, strength index, VO2max., urinary mucoproteins and in the controlgroup concerning Ld (distal latency). All athletes were under medicalsupervision and had a controlled training program and food. The effects of asingle oral dose (4 g L-carnitine were recorded in a group of 18 topweightlifters under basal conditions and 90' after L-carnitine ingestion.Significant changes in the treated group were registered for the FFA,triglycerides, urinary mucoproteins and distal latency of the right and leftmedian nerve. Based on these data the authors recommend this aminoacid both forchronic and acute effects as a physiological mean for the biologicalpreparation of elite athletes during hard training and competitions.Publication Types: Clinical trial Controlled clinical trial
