Prospects of Using the Bilar Api-Product for Boosting the Functional Potential of Athletes’ Microhemocirculation System

Abstract

This study aims to assess the effect of Bilar, a product made from the honey bee drone larvae, on stationary and oscillatory characteristics of athletes' microcirculation system. The study featured 54 athletes practicing judo. Data obtained before and after the course intake of the apiproduct testifies to the economicalness of the operation of the microcirculation system at rest, which is manifested in a decline in the perfusion and diffusion of oxygen from the blood to the tissues and its utilization by the tissues. The effectiveness of the use of the natural adaptogen was accompanied by an increase in neurogenic and myogenic vasodilatation. Incorporating Bilar into athletes' diet at the pre-competition training cycle stage improves microhemodynamics, stimulates the utilization of oxygen from the blood to the tissues, and boosts microvessel reactivity, which expands the body's adaptation/accustomization potential at the tissue level.
