PENGARUH AKUT SUSU COKELAT DAN MINUMAN OLAHRAGA KOMERSIAL SEBAGAI MINUMAN PEMULIHAN PASCA LATIHAN PADA PROGRAM INTERVAL TRAINING (Studi Pada Sekolah Sepak Bola Universitas Diponegoro)

Abstract

Background:.Diet after exercise is essential to restore the body to the condition before doing the exercises. Milk chocolate is believed to help restore depleted glycogen after exercise while commercial sports drinks speed up rehydration, reduce physiological stress of exercise, and supply the carbohydrate that used during exercise. Objective: To investigate the acute effect of chocolate milk and commercial sports drink on post-exercise recovery period in interval training program. Method: This research uses experimental methods. Subjects were students in the Football School of Diponegoro University (n = 10). The Subjects were assigned into one group then given three different treatments; mineral water, chocolate milk and commercial sports drink where each treatment were done within 1 week. The subjects were induced fatigue by doing interval training such as running 8 x 50 m and then the subject was treated and rested 15 minutes. Fatigue index measured by Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) Results: One Way ANOVA test of fatigue index value between groups showed significant differences (p = 0.044). There were significant differences in fatigue index values (p = 0.046) mineral water and sports drinks. Significant differences in fatigue index values (p = 0.021) was also found between milk chocolate and sports drinks group. The difference between the fatigue index values of mineral water with chocolate milk group showed no significant difference (p = 0723). Conclusion: Chocolate milk and commercial sports drink have some effects on post-exercise recovery period in interval training program.
