Objectives:To identify the effects of one bout administration of oriental herbal drink on aerobic capacity and physiological valuables in elite long-distance runners.Methods:14 male elite college athletes were participated and divided into two group; i) oriental herbal drink group (OG), ii) placebo group (PG).All subjects were completed treadmill using GXT.The VO2max, anaerobic threshold (AT) were measured by gas analysis and heart rate (HR) were measure by polar system at pre, max, post, post 30 min and post 60 min.Blood sample were collected to analyze blood components at pre, post, post 30 min and post 60 min.Results:There were no significant differences between groups in VO2max and AT but HR of OG were significantly lower compared to PG at post exercise.The blood LDH concentration of OG were significantly higher compared to PG at post.The blood concentrations of Na and K were significantly increased in OG compared to PG.There were no significant differences were founded in WBC, RBC, Hct, Hb. The blood concentrations of TC, HDL and creatinine were significantly increased in OG compared to PG at recovery phase.Conclusions:These results suggested that oriental herbal drink can improve aerobic capacities in runners.
