Abstract

The fitness of an athlete is very important. Running athletes need enormous energy in a short time thereby they should increase the risk of anaerobic muscle fatigue. One of the effort to delay it was by increased of glycogen deposits and potassium intake which indicated to prevent and reduce anaerobic muscle fatigue. Palm date had relatively high content of carbohydrates and potassium. This study was aimed to determine the effect of palm date treatment to anaerobic muscle fatigue index (FI). It was one group pre-post test study design. The subjects were measured by RAST (Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test) prior before any treatment as a pre-test. After one day rest, subjects received 100 grams of palm date treatment since one hour before RAST as a post-test. Data were analized by paired t-test. There was FI significant difference between pre-test and post-test (p<0.05). Palm date intervention was significantly prevented anaerobic muscle fatigue.
