Résumé
One of the most popular herbal supplements in the world is ginseng. Several studies
have evaluated the capacity of ginseng as a protective element in the physiological response to
exercise. The result produced by the exercise causes an increase in cellular biomarkers of damage
in the skeletal muscle, mainly in the pro-inflammatory types. The different types of ginseng are
composed of ginsenosides, which are active ingredients that act on the central nervous system and
have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as effects on cortisol modulation. The use
of ginseng as a nutritional supplement can help muscle regeneration and renewal. The objective of this
review is to enrich the knowledge regarding the consumption of ginseng for a specific situation, such
as exercise, which would cause an improvement in the tolerance to chronic load stimuli in sport, thus
helping the subjects to recover between training sessions. Due to these benefits, it could also be an
ideal food supplement for regenerative processes in muscle injuries in which inflammatory markers
increase significantly. This review aims to summarise that biological factors can be attenuated after
exercise due to the consumption of ginseng in healthy subjects, accelerating and improving muscle
regeneration and, therefore, improving the ability to adapt to the stimuli generated by said exercise.
