Sweet Orange Juice: Blood Glucose Level After Having Anaerobic Activity

摘要

The influence of blood glucose during exercise is a factor that affects the performance of the athlete. Blood glucose levels can be affected by things like activity or exercise, food and stress. If blood glucose levels decline, the function of brain cells is disrupted because nerve cells do not store carbohydrates as a result will have an impact on the decrease of athlete performance. Providing a sports drink with a 6-8% carbohydrate can help improve the performance of the athlete. Giving sweet orange juice is a fruit that contains liquid, electrolytes, and carbohydrates can be used to replace lost fluids. The purpose of this study is to know the effect of the use of sweet orange juice to blood glucose. The research method used is laboratory experimental research, with research design used is pre - posttest group design. Sampling was conducted as many as 20 Students of Sports Science who were divided by control group and treatment group, men, age 20-23 years, healthy, and did not take supplements during the study. The result of this research is that there is a significant difference between pre and post in control group and treatment group that is control group P = 0,016 while treatment group P = 0,001. The conclusion that can be drawn from this research is that the provision of sweet orange affects glucose levels after anaerobic activity.
