This study investigates the effect of yogic therapy on the absorption of ashwagandha and moringa supplements and their impact on the performance of sports players. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 60 national-level sports players randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group participated in a 12-week yogic therapy program while both groups received ashwagandha and moringa supplements. Absorption levels were measured through serum biomarker analysis, and performance metrics included endurance, strength, agility, and recovery. Results indicated that the intervention group experienced significantly higher absorption of withanolides and vitamins/minerals compared to the control group. Performance improvements in the intervention group were substantial, with marked increases in VO2 max, one-rep max strength, agility tests, and recovery scores. Statistical analyses confirmed significant differences between groups, supporting the hypothesis that yogic therapy enhances supplement absorption and athletic performance. These findings suggest that integrating yogic practices with nutritional supplementation offers a holistic approach to optimizing sports performance and recovery. Further research is recommended to explore long-term effects and applications across various sports disciplines.
