Methodology: 33 football athletes participated in this study. Subjects were then randomly divided into three groups: supplement (n = 11), supplement and exercise (n = 11), and placebo and exercise (n = 11). Before starting the training program, blood samples were taken by a specialist, then the training groups performed the training program, and blood samples were taken again after eight weeks of training. Resistance training program was performed for eight weeks (three times a week) with an intensity of 80 to 90% of a maximum repetition and also the amount of spirulina consumption of 4.5 grams per day was used for the relevant group. Results: One-way ANOVA and Bonferroni test were used for data analysis for intergroup comparison. The results showed that eight weeks of resistance training with spirulina supplementation compared to the other two groups (supplement and placebo + training) significantly reduced Lactate Dehydrogenase, Creatine Kinase and Aspartate Aminotransferase (p = 0.001). Also, a significant decrease was observed in the supplement group compared to placebo + exercise (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The use of spirulina supplement along with resistance training programs helps to reduce the indicators of muscle damage.
