Effect of A Formulated Sports Drink on the Endurance Capacity of Long Distance Runners (18-25 Years)
Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Exercising intensely taps into the stores of glucose that provides the muscles with energy. To rehabilitate muscles and fill their energy reserves back up and also to rehydrate when fluids are depleted after training sessions, sports drinks are administered to athletes. This study involved the formulation and administration of a sports drink to long distance male runners. To twenty subjects,250 ml of plain water was administered for the first 15 days, followed by the formulated sports drink for the next 15 days. The endurance capacity was assessed using the Cooper’s test, the Abdominal test, the Push up test and the Queen’s College Step test three times, that is, prior to the administration of water (1st day), on the 15th day after the administration of water and on the 30th day after the administration of the sports drink. The results showed no significant difference in the endurance capacity on the 15th day. However, astatistically significant increase in the endurance capacity of long distance runners was observedafter the administration of the sports drink (on the 30th day).
