Functional beverages are intended to support those who want to maintain optimal physical condition and improve their quality of life through the enhancement of heart health, immunity, and digestion. The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of top-level athletes consuming immune-strengthening conditioning nutritional drinks.
A total of 107 top-level athletes (baseball (56 players), pro volleyball (17), athletics (16), cycling (8), golf (6), and fencing (6)) participated in the experiment. They consumed an immune-enhancing functional beverage once a day for 8 weeks and responded to a survey before, during, and after drinking the beverage.
Three total aspect-based subfactors were drawn from 24 questions in the factor analysis: physical, satisfaction with mental stability, and activity in performance. The physical, mental stability and performance changes of athletes significantly increased in period 2 (4 weeks after intake) and period 3 (after 8 weeks of intake).
We evaluated the efficacy of a new conditioned beverage containing Lactobacillus B240 and protein in improving the performance and physiological utility of top athletes. This functional drink may gain popularity among those seeking health benefits and improved exercise performance.
功能性饮料旨在帮助那些希望通过增强心脏健康、免疫力和消化功能来维持最佳身体状况并提高生活质量的人。本研究的目的是调查顶级运动员饮用增强免疫力的调理营养饮料后的表现。
共有107名顶级运动员（棒球运动员56名、职业排球运动员17名、田径运动员16名、自行车运动员8名、高尔夫球运动员6名和击剑运动员6名）参与了该实验。他们每天饮用一次增强免疫力的功能性饮料，持续8周，并在饮用饮料前、饮用期间和饮用后回答一份调查问卷。
在因子分析中，从24个问题中提取了三个基于总体方面的子因素：身体方面、对心理稳定性的满意度以及表现中的活动情况。运动员的身体、心理稳定性和表现变化在第2阶段（摄入后4周）和第3阶段（摄入8周后）显著增加。
我们评估了一种含有乳酸杆菌B240和蛋白质的新型调理饮料对提高顶级运动员表现和生理效用的功效。这种功能性饮料可能会在那些寻求健康益处和提高运动表现的人群中受到欢迎。
