Description
Summary:Introduction: Cognitive function and lactic acid levels are crucial determinants of athletic performance, impacting both physical and mental capabilities during training and competition. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effects of Perhutani Honey administration during Special Preparation Stage (SPS) on cognitive function and lactic acid reduction among male athletes from Student Education and Training Center (PPLP) at Riau Province in Indonesia. Methodology: The study procedures were carried out using 45 male athletes, who were divided into 2 groups, namely control and Perhutani Honey supplementation. In addition, cognitive function and lactic acid levels were measured at each phase. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) to determine statistical significance, with a significance level set at p<0.05. Results: These results suggested that Perhutani Honey supplementation during SPS training significantly enhanced cognitive function and reduced lactic acid accumulation in male athletes. ANOVA test results showed that there were significant improvements in cognitive function and reductions in lactic acid levels among athletes who received the intervention. Conclusions: Future studies are advised to explore the long-term sustainability of the recorded benefits while controlling for additional variables, such as diet, sleep patterns, and other forms of exercise, to further isolate the specific effects of Perhutani Honey and SPS.
