The compound beverage was prepared with safflower seed oil microcapsule as main raw material. In order to study the effect of safflower seed oil microcapsule beverage on athletes metabolism ability and sports performance, 40 high-level athletes from Harbin were selected as experimental subjects for four weeks experiment. The results showed that the initial drinking of safflower seed oil microcapsule beverage could reduce the blood concentrations of BLA, TG, CK and TC, improve the bodys metabolic ability, but the sports performance did not increase significantly (P>0.05). After long-term drinking, serum concentrations of BLA and CK of athletes after sprinting 200 m extremely and significantly decreased (P<0.01), while TG and TC levels did not significantly decrease (P>0.05), at the same time, sports performance did not improve significantly (P>0.05). Athletes did not experience any physical discomfort throughout the course of the experiment. Therefore, safflower seed oil microcapsule beverage could promote exercise metabolism, and prolonged drinking could improve sports performance to a certain extent. |
