Abstract

In this study, the use of red fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam) extract as an alternative natural resource of an antioxidant supplement was introduced. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of red fruit extract supplementation on blood lactate concentration after sub-maximal exercise. The maximal exercise was applied as an exercise test in order to assess the aerobic capacity. Fourteen amateur soccer athletes from Jayapura, Indonesia, volunteered to take part in the study, where they were randomly divided into two groups: placebo and supplement. Four hours prior to the sub-maximal exercise, the subjects consumed either a placebo or 1000 mg of red fruit extract supplement. The subjects’ blood lactate concentration was recorded at four hours pre and post sub-maximal exercise. The sub-maximal exercise resulted in an increase of blood lactate concentration in both the placebo (1.30 ± 0.69 to 2.73 ± 0.58 mmol/L) and supplement groups (1.01 ± 0.39 to 2.14 ± 0.36 mmol/L). Although the increase of blood lactate concentration after performed sub-maximal exercise of supplement group was lower compared to the placebo group, independent t-test calculation shows no significant effect of red fruit extract supplementation.
