This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial tests whether taking cordyceps supplements alongside fartlek training — a type of speed-play workout — can reduce muscle damage, inflammation, and oxidative stress in competitive soccer players aged 18–20. Over four weeks, researchers measure blood markers of muscle injury, antioxidant activity, and bone metabolism, along with fitness changes. The goal is to see if this combination offers a natural way to speed recovery and boost performance.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Cordyceps sinensis extract (500 mg daily) combined with a fartlek training program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a natural supplement and training strategy to help athletes recover faster and perform better.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 22 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The supplement's effects may be modest or absent.
