Young athletes are usually regarded as a special subgroup of healthy individuals with a unique lifestyle who are apparently invulnerable and often capable of extraordinary physical achievement. Most athletic disciplines to some extent combine endurance and strength modes of physical conditioning. Acute responses to endurance exercise training include substantial increases in maximal oxygen uptake, cardiac output, stroke volume, and systolic blood pressure in-spite of this, high intensity chronic training such as marathons, very long distance bicycle racing etc., can lead to transient acute volume overload of the atria and right ventricle, with transient reductions in right ventricular ejection fraction and elevations of cardiac biomarkers. Although these biomarkers generally normalize back within seven to ten days, these transient changes may sooner or later mark the beginning of processes like patchy myocardial fibrosis finally leading to grave chronic heart diseases . Inspite of the awareness regarding the cardio vascular risk in the athletes, there have been no new advancements in finding an alternate option which can protect the cardio vascular system in the athletes. Hence in order to address the need of the hour and also to avoid the cardio vascular risk in athletes along with improvising the endurance capacity, Enovate Biolife is in the process of development of an innovative product "E-OJ-01". E-OJ-01 is expected to have beneficial effects on the cardio vascular system of the athletes by enhancing ejection fraction which in turn improves cardiac output. This finally is hypothysed to increase the maximal oxygen uptake capacity in athletes.
