Objective: Evaluation of effect of Phunamine on some of the male, female athlete\u2019s biomedicine and physical fitness standards. Subject and methods: A controlled, double-blind, randomized, clinical experiment was conducted on 30 athletes of the Hanoi Athletic Group. They were then divided into 2 groups: research group: 20 athletes (10 men, 10 women) were administered with 4 phunamine pills per day; control group: 10 athletes (5 men, 5 women) were each administered with 4 placebo pills per day. The 2 groups had tests performed and followed up 30 days pre and post administration. Results: Max-min blood pressure change between the two groups was not significant (t(\u03b1)>0.5). Testosterone concentration change and physical fitness test (run 100m, 400m) of Phunamine dosed group were higher than the placebo group (t(\u03b1)<0.5). Conclusion: Phunamine has the effects of increasing testosterone concentration and improving physical fitness of athletes however the drug has no effect on blood pressure index of athletic athletes.
