Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether a relationship exists between B vitamins and blood lactate levels in training soccer players and sedentary men at exercise recovery Method: There were 10 sportsmen and 11 sedentary men included in the study, ranging from ages 20-29. Vitamin B complex was administered orally for 15 days for each group and then blood lactate values before and after exercise in each group were included. In addition, the physical charecteristics (age, height, body weight) were recorded. Results: The results demonstrated that a positive correlation between B vitamins and blood lactate levels. It was found that the severity of periodontal disease increases with age. There was no relationship between the level of heart rate of individuals before and after the exercise. Conclusion: The treatment with B vitamins decreases blood lactate levels in individuals participating in this study
