Ingestion of oxygenated water enhances lactate clearance kinetics in trained runners

Figures & data

Table 1 Anthropometric and physiological characteristics of the group

Fig. 1 Diagram of the protocol timeline. 5000m time-trials were performed in a randomized order (placebo vs. OS)

Fig. 2 Group mean (SD) lactate concentration during exercise (a) and recovery (b). Data were collected immediately prior to the start, at the mid-point (2500m) and immediately following the finish, and every 3-min during the 30min recovery

Fig. 3 Group mean (SD) lactate clearance kinetics during recovery, measured as area under the cure (a) and half-life (b). Asterisk infer significant difference between OS and Placebo trials (*, P < 0.05)

Fig. 4 Group mean ± SD muscle tissue saturation data during the rest (a) and exercise (b) phases. All data were normalized to 6-min baseline (prior to ingestion of any fluid). The horizontal axis indicates the time after baseline in the rest phase and the time-trial in the exercise phase
