To explore the effect of vitamin C Spirulina mixture on improving sports endurance. 80 male rats aged 8 weeks were selected. All the rats were fed with basic diet and boiled water, and they could eat freely. They were randomly divided into 8 groups with 10 mice in each group: quiet control group A, VC group B, spirulina group C, VC Spirulina mixture Group D. the mice in each group were fed regularly according to the experimental design, and the control group was given intragastric administration of normal saline. After the weight-bearing swimming experiment, the general condition of mice and the detection indexes of Hb, LD, CK and BUN were observed. The data were statistically analyzed by logical analysis. In the weight comparison, the weight of mice in each group increased normally and grew well during the whole experiment. Compared with the experimental group, the weight gain of quiet group was faster, but there was no significant difference (P > 0.05). There was significant difference between group C of Spirulina mixture and group D of VC Spirulina mixture (P < 0.05), and the delay rate of depletion time was 34.47% and 20.07%, respectively; there was also significant difference between group D of VC Spirulina mixture and group C of Spirulina (P < 0.05). There was a significant difference between the spirulina mixture group and the control group (P < 0.05). The serum CK activity was lower in all resting groups. There was no significant difference between VC group B and quiet control group A (P > 0.05). There was significant difference between group C of Spirulina mixture and group D of VC Spirulina mixture (P < 0.05). Vitamin C Spirulina mixture can inhibit the decrease of Hb content, improve the ability of aerobic metabolism and delay the occurrence of exercise-induced fatigue.
