Description
Summary:<p>The purpose of this study was to develop the Zea mays (ZM) juice as an alternative recovery beverage for exercising people. The study consisted of descriptive formulation and assessment of ZM juice, followed by experimental study examining the effect of ZM juice on rehydration, sports performance and muscle recovery among recreational individuals. A total of 461 male and female participants were randomly selected with criteria of physically active, did not consume sports supplements and had no injuries. Data were analyzed using descriptive, paired t-test and two ways factorial ANOVA. ZM juice contained 9.8 g carbohydrate, 2.4 g protein and 64.3 mg sodium which met the recovery requirement. The beverage acceptance rate was 75% among the participants. Rehydration assessment showed that ZM juice (M = 48.0%, SD = 18.7) significantly retained fluid better than CE drink (M = 28.5%, SD = 21.7), t(14) = -2.23, p = .042 and produced less urine (M = 1022, SD = 415.18) than those in CE drink group (M = 418.7, SD = 425.9), t(14) = 2.22, p = .043. Meanwhile sports performance of CINDY exercise significantly higher F (1, 16) = 10.84, p=.005, .=.404 in ZM juice group (M = 18.77, SD = 5.00) compared to CE drink (M = 14.88, SD = 5.88). Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) score was significantly lower F (1, 16) = 9.145, p=.001, .=.364 in ZM juice (M = 11.59, SD = 0.92) compared to CE drink (M = 12.02, SD = 1.39). The Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) maximum score feeling of pain decreased after 24 hours (score = 43) of exercise compared before exercise 2 (score = 45) in ZM juice. To conclude, ZM juice was capable to retain body fluid, promote exercise performance and reduce feeling of pain. In implication, ZM juice would be a good alternative recovery beverage for exercising people besides the readily available drinks in the market.</p><p></p>
