Abstract

The pandemic of COVID-19 has created the "New Normal" lifestyle and limited people to performing their daily activities from home. These changes in turn affect the level of physical activities, including the intention to engage in regular exercise, in most people, subsequently putting them at risk of having negative effects due to being physically inactive. This condition may down regulate the human immune system, making it more vulnerable to various diseases. Oral supplementation of fish oil has been proposed to have benefits for decreasing pro-inflammatory markers induced by exercise. This study aimed to analyze the effect of fish oil supplementation on the degree of fatigue perception following submaximal exercise. Forty-four male college students participated in this non-equivalent pre-posttest experimental research. The participants were supplemented with 2 soft capsules of 1.5 grams of fish oil for 8 weeks. The effect of submaximal exercise was carried out by the sit-up and bleep tests, which were measured before and after 8 weeks of fish oil supplementation. The research procedure was approved by the ethics committee of the Makassar State University research institute. The results showed that there was a strong relationship between the administration of fish oil supplements and the level of fatigue perception following sit-ups and bleep tests (p values of -0.529 and -0.658, respectively) performed during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study concludes that the administration of fish oil supplementation affects the degree of fatigue perception after doing submaximal exercise, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Introduction: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss among the elderly population. The Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2) supplementation was developed as an evidence-based nutraceutical strategy to slow the progression of AMD. This review aims to evaluate the clinical evidence and potential application of AREDS2 as a geroprotective retinal intervention within the framework of precision geromedicine. Methods: A narrative review of recent AREDS and AREDS2 studies was conducted, integrating concepts from geroscience related to retinal aging. Results: The AREDS2 formulation, which replaced beta-carotene with lutein and zeaxanthin, demonstrated an 18% reduction in AMD progression risk without increasing lung cancer risk among smokers. AREDS2 components target key aging pathways, including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and dysregulated autophagy. In addition, potential modulation of mTOR and AMPK signaling suggests a role in extending retinal healthspan. Conclusion: AREDS2 represents a promising nutraceutical approach as a retinal gerotherapy within the paradigm of precision geromedicine. Its clinical implications include preventing AMD progression, optimizing visual function in older adults, and enabling integration into precision-based ophthalmologic practice. Further research is warranted to validate the molecular mechanisms and assess the cross-population effectiveness, thereby strengthening its role in broader age-related ocular health interventions.
