Effects of Consumption of Honey Solution, Rosa Canina L and Red Bull on Lactate, Lactate Hydrogenase and Creatinine Kinase Levels after Noncombat Kickboxing

Intense physical activity is associated with the production and increase of lactate, lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase. In the present study, the effects of consuming honey Rosa Canina L. solutions were investigated in comparison with Red Bull on the levels of lactate, lactate dehydrogenase and creatinine kinase after three quasi-competitive kickboxing matches in kickboxing men. A practical and semi-experimental study method was applied. The statistical population of this study consisted of athletes from Mazandaran province, from which 32 athletes were randomly divided into 4 groups of placebo, honey, Rosa Canina L. and Red Bull. Blood samples were collected before, immediately, 60 and 120 minutes after the test and the above variables were measured by enzymatic calorimetry. Repeated measures ANOVA was used for data analysis. Lactate levels increased immediately after training in the Red Bull group compared to placebo and in the honey and Rosa Canina L. groups showed a significant decrease compared to Red Bull. Lactate (120 min) showed a significant decrease in honey and Rosa Canina L. groups compared to placebo and red bull. The levels of lactate dehydrogenase (60 and 120 minutes) in honey and Rosa Canina L. groups compared to placebo and also Red Bull and creatine kinase in honey and Rosa Canina L. groups compared to red bull (60 and 120 minutes) showed a significant decrease. The results of this study show the effectiveness of honey and Rosa Canina L. solutions compared to Red Bull in increasing the performance of athletes and reducing fatigue indices.
