Background and Objective: Astaxanthin supplement is known as the king of antioxidants. Intense exercise training causes muscle damage in athletes. In this study, the interventional effect of astaxanthin consumption, along with a period of resistance training in male bodybuilders, was investigated on changes in 1RM, TNF-α and CKMM. Materials and Methods: Among male bodybuilders in Shahrekord with at least two years of regular exercise experience, 24 people were selected and divided into two groups of 12 (supplement and placebo) and participated in an eight-week resistance training program. The two groups were homogeneous in terms of age and body mass index. Subjects received one capsule containing 12 mg of astaxanthin or placebo, three days a week before performing 60 min incremental exercises, for eight weeks. Blood samples were taken before supplement intake and starting the exercise and 12 h after taking the last capsule and completing the eight weeks of exercise. 1RM was measured by performing squats to determine the effect of the exercises before and after taking the supplement. Normal distribution was tested with the Shapiro-Wilk test and research hypotheses were tested with the ANOVA test in SPSS22 software. Changes in factors were tested with the one-way analysis of variance with repeated measures test (P ≥ 0.05). Results: With astaxanthin supplementation, TNF-α levels decreased after resistance training, and a significant difference was observed between the two groups. In the supplement group, CKMM levels increased less than in the placebo group. 1RM increased significantly in both groups compared to the pre-test, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: Taking astaxanthin supplements along with resistance training reduced the levels of muscle damage and inflammatory markers.
