All study participants were apparently healthy, had no active sports injuries, did not use
any medications, and were non-smokers. Standardized questionnaires conducted under the
supervision of a trained nutritionist were used to collect general data, nutritional habits
and use of dietary supplements. The athletes who used any dietary supplements at least a
month before the study, were excluded. All participants (or their parents if they were under
the age of 18) signed an informed consent document. The study was approved by the Ethical
committee of The Military Medical Academy, Belgrade.
The study was conducted during regular competition season, and lasted for twelve weeks. All
participants had the same training and nutritional regime, which excluded intake of berries.
The players received 30 mL of liquid chokeberry extract, in the morning before training, once
per day for 12 weeks. For the preparation of chokeberry extract (liquid form) was used fruit
(berries) of Aronia melanocarpa Elliot, Rosaceae. The extract was donated by Pharmanova
Belgrade, Serbia. Process of extraction is performed under specific conditions which are
subject of technical patent (producer EUHEM), for the purpose of production of extract with
high concentration of polyphenols. The design of the product included few demands: sufficient
daily dose of polyphenols to be dietary supplement, small volume which can be consumed as
shot and acceptable taste for most consumers. Compliance was monitored by the trainers.
