最近，人们对精油对运动表现和其他生理作用的影响越来越感兴趣。本研究旨在探讨柑橘花和留兰香叶精油吸入对两组运动员男大学生运动能力和肺功能的影响。20名体育系学生自愿参加了这项研究。受试者被随机分为两组：留兰香和柑橘（每组10名受试者）。在1500 m跑前，一组用柑桔花油雾化吸入，另一组用留兰香叶油雾化吸入，浓度为0.02 ml/kg体重，与2 ml生理盐水混合，持续5 min。肺功能测试使用肺活量计测量每个学生雾化前后给予相同的运行距离前和后吸入油。肺功能测试显示，吸入油后学生的肺部状况有所改善。有趣的是，对于两种油，吸入后第一秒的用力呼气量和用力肺活量显著增加。此外，在这两组中观察到运行时间的平均值显着减少。肺功能测定结果正常者占50%，吸入M。穗花油的含量为60%。我们的研究结果支持了M. spicata和C.结果表明，当归挥发油对运动成绩和呼吸功能参数的影响不明显。然而，由于样本量小、缺乏对照组、随机化或设盲，我们的结论和结果的普遍性应谨慎解释。我们建议进一步研究，以解释这两种精油对运动表现和呼吸参数的作用机制。ISRCTN 10133422，注册日期：2016年5月3日。
Recently, there has been an increased interest in the effects of essential oils on athletic performances and other physiological effects. This study aimed to assess the effects of Citrus sinensis flower and Mentha spicata leaves essential oils inhalation in two different groups of athlete male students on their exercise performance and lung function. Twenty physical education students volunteered to participate in the study. The subjects were randomly assigned into two groups: Mentha spicata and Citrus sinensis (ten participants each). One group was nebulized by Citrus sinensis flower oil and the other by Mentha spicata leaves oil in a concentration of (0.02 ml/kg of body mass) which was mixed with 2 ml of normal saline for 5 min before a 1500 m running tests. Lung function tests were measured using a spirometer for each student pre and post nebulization giving the same running distance pre and post oils inhalation. A lung function tests showed an improvement on the lung status for the students after inhaling of the oils. Interestingly, there was a significant increase in Forced Expiratory Volume in the first second and Forced Vital Capacity after inhalation for the both oils. Moreover significant reductions in the means of the running time were observed among these two groups. The normal spirometry results were 50 %, while after inhalation with M. spicata oil the ratio were 60 %. Our findings support the effectiveness of M. spicata and C. sinensis essential oils on the exercise performance and respiratory function parameters. However, our conclusion and generalisability of our results should be interpreted with caution due to small sample size and lack of control groups, randomization or masking. We recommend further investigations to explain the mechanism of actions for these two essential oils on exercise performance and respiratory parameters. ISRCTN10133422, Registered: May 3, 2016.
