Effects of medicinal herbs on the improvement of muscular strength along with the related fatigue factors were evaluated in SD rats. Nine types of treatment groups were fed diets supplemented with 1% herb hot-water extracts (Liriope spicata (LS), Schizandra chinensis (SC), Acanthopanax sessiliflorus (AS), Saliconia herbacea (SH), Eucommia ulmoides (EU), Lycium chinensis (LC), Panax ginseng (red ginseng) (PG), Polygonum multifloum (PM), Glycyrrhizae uralensis (GU)) for 4 weeks. The muscular strength of all groups were measured weekly for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks serum was collected and liver dissected out for the analysis of glycogen and fatigue factors. The liver glycogen contents of all treatment groups (21.0～25.9 ㎎/g) were higher than that of control group (18.1 ㎎/g). A significantly increase of muscular strength in the fourth week were found in the AS (282.5 gf), SH (277.4 gf), PG (287.2 gf) groups (p＜0.05). LS (7.88 ㎎/dL), SC (7.85 ㎎/dL), AS (7.64 ㎎/dL), EU (7.54 ㎎/dL), LC (7.81 ㎎/dL) and PG (7.75 ㎎/dL) groups were significantly reduced in serum inorganic phosphorus concentration measured after 4 weeks (p＜0.05). Serum lactate levels of treatment groups (8.61～12.18 ㎍/dL) were significantly lower than that of control group (17.45 ㎍/dL). These results suggest that medicinal herbs enhanced muscular strength of rats by delaying accumulation of muscular fatigue factor.
