摘要:The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of L-Carnitine on 1500m running performance and blood lactate level.Healthy and well-trained 20 voluntary male athletes were randomly classified in two groups as the control (n=10) and study (n=10) groups.Before the treatment performance times of the athletes for running 1500 m recorded and the blood samples were obtained four minutes after the exercise.Athletes in the study group were treated with 1 x 2 g of L-Carnitine per day after the lunch for 10 days,while the control group had only fruit juice.Then performance time recording and blood taking were repeated to see the effects of L-Carnitine.The results of the control group showed no statistical significance.But in the study group both performance times and plasma lactate levels significantly reduced (p<0.001).In this study,10 days L-Carnitine supplementation has provided an ergogenic benefit on blood lactate level and 1500m running performance on well-trained athletes.
