Impact of different diet regimes at results of endurance performances

The goal of this pilot study is to pinpoint that a three-day herbal diet before competition improves endurance performances of athletes. Of that purpose an experiment with 10 participants (6 males and 4 females) had been organized. Six males of body heights within a range 185±6.31 cm, body mass of 81.17±6.66 kg, body mass indices within range of 23.62±0.74 kg/m2 and aged 20.2±0.42, four females of body height within range of 171±3 cm, body mass within range of 71.21±5.64 kg, body mass indices within range of 24.52±4.79 kg/m2 and aged 20.1±0.42. Endurance performances which had been checked are Cooper’s running test 12-minute (K), with maximal and relative consumption of oxygen (VO2max, VO2rel), quantity of oxygen consumed over the 12-minute running (∑VO2), kilocalories consumed over the 12-minute running (∑kcal), critical speed (vVO2) and genetic capacities of oxygen consumption and critical speed(VO2max(GK)). Respondents had undergone through two testings. All data from experiments had been processed by using descriptive and comparative statistical procedures. The first testing (test1) had been done when students were at usual mixed meat reach diet. Three weeks later the second testing (test2) had been exposed to herbal diet. At the second testing (test2) all respondents had been reached statistically significant better result (Sig.>.001). Cooper’s 12-minute running test (K2) 192 m or 7.41% with average critical speed that were 0.27 m/s-1or 7% greater. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max2) was by them by average greater 0.33 liters/min (L. min-1) or 9%. Relative oxygen consumption (VO2rel2) was by average greater 4.16 milliliters by them per kilogram of body mass per minute (ml. kg-1. min-1) or 9%. They had burned for 12-minute running period 21.206 kcalalories more. They had started with 69% of their genetic capacity regarding maximal and relative oxygen consumptions (VO2max (GK), VO2rel (GK)) and 74.8% of critical speed (vVO2max (GK)) to reach up to 75% of maximal and relative oxygen consumption and 80.9% of critical speed. These results suggest that herbal diet improves endurance and opens space for additional researches.
