Abstract

Introduction: This was a quasi-experimental study. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of consumption of sports drinks with sugary solution on the level of lactic acid of male students of Yazd University and comparing it with simple sugar drink.

Methods: For this purpose, 10 male students of physical education from Yazd University (mean age 19/35+0/7years, height 171/25+3/13cm, weight average 63/1+ 7 kg) were selected on a voluntary basis. volunteered and then put them in one group. The Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) was performed. The test was performed three times with an interval of 48 hours. In this double-blind study, the participants consumed sports drinks (Dynamin), plain sugar solution or placebo 40 minutes before the anaerobic  exercise. To analyze the data dependent t-test was used.

Results: The results showed that consuming sports drinks compared with the placebo and plain sugar solution had a meaningful decrease in the level of lactic acid.

Conclusion: In general, it seems that consuming sports drinks (Daynamin) might decrease the level of lactic acid during anaerobic activities and it could be recommended for those kind of activities.
