The purpose of the study was to determine whether a 15.6mg.Kg ??' does of glutamate given one hour prior to incremental exercise test would reduce the lactate formation. Five well trained cyclists served as subjects in this experiment which included a placebo and glutamate trial. The subjects initially work on treadmill 200m/min for 3 minutes and here increased the workload by 20m/min every 3minutes until exhaustion. Blood lactate were collected from finger-tip. Subjects in the glutamate trial showed significantly lower lactate formation during exercise then they did in the placebo trial.
In both groups no significant difference was found on heart rate. During the recovery lactate and heart, rate were unaltered in either the glutamate or placebo trials. In summary, glutamate ingestion may reduce lactate formation resultly improvement of performance.
