Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the muscular strength & stamina improvement and muscle anti-fatigue effects of Morinda officinalis How after long term administration. Methods: 4-6 weeks old ICR mice were used in this study and we administered the water soluble extracts of Morinda officinalis How in the concentration of 1, 10. 100/mg/0.3ml to each 5 mice (ATS group) and same volume of normal saline was administered to 5 mice (control group) once a day for 90 or 120 days. After the administration we performed the swimming exercise test and the grip strength test. And we measured the concentration of glucose and the activity of lactate dehydrogenase in plasma regarded as biochemical indicator related with the muscular fatigue. Results: In swimming exercise test, all ATS groups showed increased time compared with relative control group after 90 days administration. After 120 days adminstration 100/mg/0.3ml ATS groups showed increased results. In grip strength test, all ATS groups showed increased grip strength compared with relative control group after 90 days administration. After 120 days adminstration 10/mg/0.3ml ATS groups showed increased result. All the results of plasma glucose didn’t showed statistically significant difference after 90 and 120 days administration.
