ABSTRACT

This study investigated the combined effects of Tualang Honey (TH) and countermovement jumping (CJ) exercise for 6 weeks on bone speed of sound (SOS), bone turnover markers, and maximum jumping height in young males. Forty participants aged between 18-24 years old were randomly assigned into four groups, i.e. control (C), supplementation of TH (H), CJ exercise (J), and combined TH supplementation, and CJ exercise (JH) groups. Participants in the J and JH groups were required to jump for 2 sessions/day, 3 alternated days/week for 6 weeks. Participants in the H and JH groups consumed 20 g/day of TH for 6 weeks. Bone SOS of the participants’ leg was measured at pre- and post-tests, and it was found that there were no significant differences in participants’ bone SOS in all groups. Blood samples were analysed for determining the concentration of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and serum C-terminal telopeptide of type-1 collagen (1CTP). The JH group showed a 56.3% reduction in serum 1CTP and was significantly lower (p <0.01) than the C group. A 7.66% reduction of ALP was observed in the JH group. Maximum jumping height was significantly greater (p <0.05) in post-tests compared to pre-tests in the H and JH groups. In addition, there was a significantly greater maximum jumping height (p <0.05) in the JH group compared to the C group in post-tests. In conclusion, the combination of TH with CJ exercise could significantly increase maximum jumping height compared to the control and this combination influence bone turnover markers in young males.

ABSTRAK

Kajian ini mengkaji kesan gabungan Madu Tualang (TH) dan senaman lompatan berpantul (CJ) selama 6 minggu ke atas kelajuan bunyi tulang (SOS), penanda metabolisme tulang dan ketinggian lompatan maksimum dalam kalangan lelaki muda. Empat puluh orang peserta berumur antara 18-24 tahun telah dibahagikan secara rawak ke dalam empat kumpulan: kumpulan kawalan (C), pengambilan TH (H), senaman CJ (J) dan gabungan pengambilan TH dan senaman CJ (JH). Peserta dalam kumpulan J dan JH perlu melompat sebanyak 2 sesi/sehari, 3 kali/seminggu selama 6 minggu. Peserta dalam kumpulan H dan JH telah mengambil TH 20 g/sehari selama 6 minggu. SOS tulang kaki setiap peserta diukur semasa pra- dan pasca-ujian, dan tiada perbezaan signifikan terhadap SOS tulang peserta dalam setiap kumpulan. Sampel darah dianalisa untuk menentukan kepekatan serum alkali fosfatase (ALP) dan serum telopeptida C-terminal jenis-1 kolagen (1CTP). Kumpulan JH menunjukkan peratusan penurunan sebanyak 56.3% untuk serum 1CTP dan kadar 1CTP lebih rendah secara signifikan (p <0.01) dalam kumpulan JH berbanding kumpulan C semasa pasca-ujian. Penurunan sebanyak 7.66% serum ALP dalam kumpulan JH. Ketinggian lompatan maksimum yang lebih signifikan (p <0.05) semasa pasca-ujian dibandingkan dengan pra-ujian dalam kumpulan H dan JH. Tambahan lagi, penambahan yang signifikan terhadap ketinggian lompatan maksimum (p <0.05) dalam JH dibandingkan dengan kumpulan C. Kesimpulannya, gabungan TH dan senaman CJ secara signifikan meningkatkan ketinggian lompatan maksimum berbanding dengan kumpulan C dan mempengaruhi penanda metabolisme tulang dalam kalangan lelaki muda.
