PDF Studies on the Refreshing Effect of Two Kinds of Organic Acids

【Supercategory:7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory:7.15 Vol.15

 The experiments were performed for the purpose of confirming the refreshing effect of citric acid and acetic acid. The urine samples were taken from male students belonging to Kanazawa University Japanese fencing (Kendoh) club. Three analyses, Donaggio, color and pH methods, were carried out with the materials which were taken an hour and a half after the ingestion of citric or acetic acid following severe physical exercise.
 These acids proved to be effective to make them refreshed con-ciderably. But when the materials were taken over three hours after, the results were not so clear as the above.
