This research aim is to study the effects of ginseng on the myostatin and IGF-1. Method: Therefore, 16 athletes were selected. The research was constructed as a two-way blinded semi- experimental, pre-post test with a control group. Participants were divided into two groups: Ginseng and placebo. Blood sampling was done before and after one month supplementation and after a simulated competition.Data analysis was done by repeated measures analysis of variance, LSD post hoc and independent T-test. Results: Results showed that level of myostatin and IGF-1 were influenced by using ginseng and simulated competition (P Abstract Aim: The growth factor myostatin and IGF-1 play a major role in response to muscular contractions and in the regulation and stimulation of muscles metabolism.
