Kavalactones support motivation to move during intensive training in males preparing for military special operations forces by Sheena Y. Smith, Carlos F. Aylwin, Tyler F. Daniels, Jennifer L. Greer, Laura J. Kunces, Loukia Lili, Stephen M. Phipps, Caleb M. Schmidt, Julian C. Schmidt, Michael A. Schmidt

“…Furthermore, the group taking kavalactones first never experienced a significant decrease in Move motivation state (lowest mean score 21.0, highest 28.6, all p ≥ 0.05), while the group receiving kavalactones in the last 2 weeks of the study had Move scores that were statistically lower than baseline (lowest mean score 8.6, highest 25.9, all p ≤ 0.05) at all time points but the last (p = 0.063) after 2 weeks of kavalactones exposure.Conclusions We report a novel finding that kavalactones may support performance by maintaining or rescuing the desire to expend energy in the context of significant physical and mental strain in well-conditioned individuals, even in a context of already normal cortisol, sleep, and mood.…”
