J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2025-The aim of this study was to determine the effect of ashwagandha supplementation on special endurance and response time of highly qualified wrestlers participating in a structured sports training process (preparatory period). In the randomized, double-blind manner, national team wrestlers received either placebo or ashwagandha extract (600 mg·d-1) for 8 weeks. Twice during the 8-week study period: Pre-intervention (term I) and post-intervention (term II), special endurance (using the dummy suplex throw test), and response time to a stimulus (decision test using the Vienna Test System) were assessed.
