Subjects were recruited from athletes who performed endurance type of exercise on a regular basis in a collegiate track team. Twelve voluntarily male subjects ages between 21-26 participated into study. Subjects were randomly assigned as a treatment group N=6 and a control group N=6 . Treatment group received 15 gr. bee-pollen and control group received a placebo only. For statistical evaluation, pre and post-tests measurements were taken in both groups for blood samples, heart rate, and body fat. In addition, Bruce protocol was applied on a treadmill to determine VO2 max. The data was analyzed by the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Alpha was set at p}, number={2}, publisher={Metin YAMAN}
