The Effects of Beta-Alanine Supplementation and High-Intensity Interval Training on Cardiovascular Parameters, Fatigue, and Anxiety in Male Basketball Players Over 35 Years Old
Keywords:
Beta Alanine, HIIT, Fatigue and AnxietyAbstract
This present study investigated beta-alanine supplementation and HIIT on cardiovascular parameters and fatigue and anxiety indices in basketball players over 35 years of age. A total of 36 athletes divided into three groups: one group received placebo with HIIT, one group received beta-alanine with HIIT, and one group received beta-alanine without exercise. Measured parameters included heart rate variability, fatigue index, and anxiety index. Based on the results obtained, it has been observed that the combination of beta alanine with HIIT has positively influenced the improvement in performance, reduction of fatigue, and anxiety in this age group.
