Administration of pismatom juice increasing of potassium serum levels and faster of recovery in middle run athletes PASI Denpasar, Bali-Indonesia

摘要

Introduction: Intense prolonged physical exercises such as athleticneed more energy. It causes fatigue and sweat excretion which ispossibly related to decreasing of electrolyte and recovery delay. Thisresearch aimed to prove that administration of mix juice of banana,honey, and tomato (pismatom) increasing of potassium serum levelsand faster of recovery in middle run athletes.Method: This research was an experimental design using randomizedpre-test-post-test control group design using 28 middle run athletes.Selected samples divided into two groups using random allocationtechnique. Treatment group was given pismatom juice before andafter physical activity with 240 of volume and control group wasgiven mineral water before and after physical activity with 240 ccs ofvolume during 14 days. Blood-vein measurement was used to evaluatepotassium serum levels and measure of pulse recovery rate. Thestatistical analysis using SPSS version 20.0 for windows, comparisonof electrolyte level and recovery time using t-independent test andGeneral Linear Model (GLM).Result: The results showed that potassium serum levels increasingsignifcantly (p<0.05) in the Treatment Group (4.90 + 0.17 mmol/L vs3.69 + 0.15 mmol/L). Pulse rate indicate the recovery more faster inthe Treatment Group to 3rd minute recovery pulse (RPR3) (124.21+6.61x/mnt vs 131.57+12.49 x/mnt), to 4th minute recovery pulse (RPR4)(120.14+8.29 x/mnt vs 126.50+12.13 x/mnt) and to 5th minuterecovery pulse (RPR5) (111.29+6.69 x/mnt vs 123.14+12.06 x/mnt)that was signifcantly di?erent (p<0.05).Conclusion: The conclusion of this research was the administrationof Pismatom juice increasing potassium serum levels and faster ofrecovery.
