INFLUENCE OF COCOA-BASED PROTEIN DRINK ON OXIDATIVE STRESS AFTER EXERCISE

该子项目是利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 锻炼的好处是广泛的，并且有据可查。已经观察到，在力竭运动期间发生自由基产生。这种对肌肉结构的损伤导致炎症和自由基产生的增加。有证据表明，抗氧化剂补充剂对力竭运动引起的氧化损伤具有有益作用。抗氧化剂的工作，以尽量减少自由基的整体影响;这样的抗氧化剂是可可。 因为它是这项调查的目的，以检查摄入的抗氧化剂和蛋白质对自由基损伤和肌肉酸痛的影响。本研究的第二个目的是评估巧克力饮食饮料之间的接受和偏好测试。我们假设，与传统的CHO运动饮料相比，蛋白质/可可饮料将导致氧化应激标志物的减少。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The benefits of exercise are extensive and well documented. It has observed that during exhaustive exercise free radical production occurs. This damage to muscle structure leads to inflammation and increases in free radical production. There is evidence to support that supplements with antioxidants have beneficial effects against the oxidative damage induced by exhaustive exercise. Antioxidants work to minimize the overall effect of free radicals; one such antioxidant is cocoa. As it is the purpose of this investigation to examine the influence of the ingestion of antioxidants and proteins on both free radical damage and muscle soreness. The second purpose of this study was to assess the acceptance and preference testing between a chocolate dietary drink. We hypothesize that the protein/cocoa drink will cause a decrease in markers of oxidative stress compared to the traditional CHO sports drink.
