The supercritical CO2 extraction technology was used to extract gardenia oil, and the effect of gardenia oil on the exercise capacity of aerobic athletes under anaerobic metabolism was studied. 20 aerobic athletes were randomly divided into control group and experimental group. In the experimental group, gardenia oil corn syrup complex was taken three times in every morning, afternoon and evening, with 2 branches, 5 g per branch, in which the dosage of gardenia oil was 2.5 g per branch and continuous administration for 60 d. The control group took corn syrup according to the same method and dose 5 g per branch. The results showed that compared with the control group, the recovery rate of heart rate in the experimental group significantly increased(P<0.05), the elimination rate of lactate in the body increased significantly(P<0.05), and the output power and total work had very significant increase(P<0.01). In addition, no adverse reaction occurred during the experiment. Therefore, gardenia oil could effectively improve exercise capacity of aerobic athletes, and had some safety. |
