提高运动成绩是运动员、教练和研究人员的一大愿望。薄荷是最著名的天然草药之一，它具有镇痛、抗炎、抗痉挛、抗氧化和血管收缩的作用。尽管对运动员吸入薄荷香气进行了调查，但对运动表现没有显著影响。12名健康的男生每天饮用一瓶500毫升的矿泉水，其中含有0.05毫升的薄荷精油，持续10天。测定血压、心率和肺活量测定参数，包括用力肺活量（FVC）、呼气流量峰值（PEF）和吸气流量峰值（PIF）。参与者进行了基于跑步机的运动测试，使用布鲁斯方案进行代谢气体分析和通风测量。添加10天后，FVC（4.57±0.90比4.79±0.84,p < 0.001）、PEF（8.50±0.94比8.87±0.92,p < 0.01）和PIF（5.71±1.16比6.58±1.08,p < 0.005）显著改变。运动疲劳时间（664.5±114.2 vs. 830.2±129.8 s）、功（78.34±32.84 vs. 118.7±47.38 KJ）和功率（114.3±24.24 vs. 139.4±27.80 KW）均显著提高（p < 0.001）。此外，呼吸气体分析结果显示，VO2（2.74±0.40比3.03±0.351 L/min, p < 0.001）和VCO2（3.08±0.47比3.73±0.518 L/min, p < 0.001）差异有统计学意义。实验结果支持薄荷精油对青年男学生的运动表现、气体分析、肺活量测定参数、血压和呼吸频率的有效性。支气管平滑肌松弛，通气和脑氧浓度增加，血乳酸水平降低是最合理的解释。
Enhancing athletic performance is a great desire among the athletes, coaches and researchers. Mint is one of the most famous natural herbs used for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antioxidant, and vasoconstrictor effects. Even though inhaling mint aroma in athletes has been investigated, there were no significant effects on the exercise performance. Twelve healthy male students every day consumed one 500 ml bottle of mineral water, containing 0.05 ml peppermint essential oil for ten days. Blood pressure, heart rate, and spirometry parameters including forced vital capacity (FVC), peak expiratory flow rate (PEF), and peak inspiratory flow (PIF) were determined one day before, and after the supplementation period. Participants underwent a treadmill-based exercise test with metabolic gas analysis and ventilation measurement using the Bruce protocol. The FVC (4.57 ± 0.90 vs. 4.79 ± 0.84; p < 0.001), PEF (8.50 ± 0.94 vs. 8.87 ± 0.92; p < 0.01), and PIF (5.71 ± 1.16 vs. 6.58 ±1.08; p < 0.005) significantly changed after ten days of supplementation. Exercise performance evaluated by time to exhaustion (664.5 ± 114.2 vs. 830.2 ± 129.8 s), work (78.34 ±32.84 vs. 118.7 ± 47.38 KJ), and power (114.3 ± 24.24 vs. 139.4 ± 27.80 KW) significantly increased (p < 0.001). In addition, the results of respiratory gas analysis exhibited significant differences in VO2 (2.74 ± 0.40 vs. 3.03 ± 0.351 L/min; p < 0.001), and VCO2 (3.08 ± 0.47 vs. 3.73 ± 0.518 L/min; p < 0.001). The results of the experiment support the effectiveness of peppermint essential oil on the exercise performance, gas analysis, spirometry parameters, blood pressure, and respiratory rate in the young male students. Relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles, increase in the ventilation and brain oxygen concentration, and decrease in the blood lactate level are the most plausible explanations.
