DPPH. Ophiocordyceps ganoderma supplementation. Human serum antioxidant capacity. Analysis of DPPH before and after the race. Measurements expressed in free radical scavenging activity (FRSA) were carried out in triplicate for each subject and are presented as mean ± mean standard error. Experimental conditions: placebo values just before the race (before race placebo) and just after the race (after race placebo); 3 months of fungal supplementation just before the race (before race Ophiocordyceps ganoderma) and just after the race (after race Ophiocordyceps ganoderma). The level of statistical significance was set at a 𝑃 value of <0.05 (*𝑃 value <0.05; **𝑃 value <0.01). NS: not statistically significant.
