Background: The fitness of athletes is always the top priority of each coach. Therefore, studying to discover the products that are really effective and appropriate for each sport is an urgent matter. Previous research showed biochemical standard is one of the important standards to assess the fitness of athletes. \r\n', u'Objectives: To study the effects of Phunamine on various biochemical standards of male and female weight-lifters. \r\n', u'Method: The self-control clinical experiment was applied in 19 weight-lifters at the Sport University 1 (TuSon) from May to July 2006. The research material was the functional food Phunamine with major component being anchovy combined with Syngnathiformes powder. Results: Testosterone concentration after taking Phunamine was higher than before the research (t(alpha)<0.025 in males; <0.01 in females); activity of LDH enzyme after taking Phunamine was higher than before the research, but the significant difference was only found in female with t(alpha)<0.025; cortisol concentration was also higher than before the research. \r\n', u'Conclusions: Phunamine has the effect of increasing testosterone, cortisol concentration and LDH enzyme activity.\r\n', u'
