Abstract
Background: During sports competitions, delaying the time of fatigue and continuing the good performance of players is very important in sports competitions. In long-term competitions such as football, maintaining energy reserves and water and electrolyte balance is especially important for health and optimal performance.
Objective and goals: The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of drinking carbohydrate electrolytes during a football match on the perception of pressure, heart rate and agility of the selected women's football team.
Method: 20 of the best members of Kermanshah women's football team (age= 20.2 ± 1.1 years old ) were selected and randomly divided into control and experimental groups. After completing the medical and consent forms to participate in the research, the heart rate, pressure perception level (using the Borg table) and agility (using the Illinois test) were taken from the two groups. After participating in a 90-minute football match including two 45-minute periods of play and 15-minute rest, they were re-evaluated. During this race, the experimental group every 15 minutes of the race, drink carbohydrate electrolyte solution (glucose 7%, 24 mmol sodium, 3 mmol potassium and 12 mmol chloride in 100 ml solution) and the control group 200 ml of normal Water. Normality of the data, using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and homogeneity of variances using Levine's test and Statistical analysis was done using t-test and significance level α=0.05.
Results: The results showed that the consumption of carbohydrate electrolyte drink during the football match had a significant effect on heart rate (P˂0.001), pressure perception (P˂0.001) of the experimental group, but although it caused a smaller decrease in agility after race, but this effect was not significant (P=0.089).
Conclusion: It seems that drinking carbohydrate electrolytes by providing cell materials necessary for better blood circulation during physical activity, regulates the heart rate and reduces in pressure perception, and possibly delays fatigue, causing optimal performance.
