Effects of oral supplementation of mint extract on muscle pain and blood lactateSonmez, Gul TiryakiColak, MergulSonmez, SedatSchoenfeld, BradMintBlood lactateMuscle pain400-m runHealth Care Sciences & ServicesStudy aim: To determine the effects of mint extract on muscle pain and blood lactate levels after a 400-m run. Material and methods: A group of 16 physical education students (mean age 21.81 +/- 2.13 years) volunteered to participate in the study. The subjects were randomly assigned into 3 groups: mint, placebo or control. The mint group was given orally mint extract (5 ml/kg of body mass) and the placebo group was given unsweetened tea (5 ml/kg) in a double-blind fashion and cross-over design one hour before a 400-m running test. Subjects in the control group remained untreated. The effect of mint extract on muscle pain was recorded by an inquiry; blood lactate levels were measured after the running test. Results: Oral administration of mint extract significantly (p<0.01) decreased blood lactate concentrations but muscle pain levels remained unchanged in all groups. Conclusions: Oral administration of mint extract may have a beneficial effect on blood lactate clearance and therefore may increase athletic performance.WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH2010Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/16911https://doi.org/10.2478/v10101-0016-80043-9630enBIOMEDICAL HUMAN KINETICSinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/16911
