Consume the electrolyte solution 20 minutes before physical exercise reduce systolic blood pressure and pulse rate

Physical exercise can increase systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), pulse rate (FR), and body temperature (BT) exercise. The increase in the body's vital signs can be overcome by consuming electrolyte solutions before exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of consuming 500 mL of electrolyte solution orally 20 minutes before exercise. The intensity of exercise is 70% of the maximum pulse rate with a duration of 30 minutes, the effect of which is to decrease the SBP, DBP, PR, and exercise BT. This experimental study used a pre and post test control group design, in which 18 subjects were divided into two groups and given different treatments, namely Klp-1 was given mineral water and Klp-2 was given electrolyte solution with the same volume. Differences in treatment results were analyzed using the T-Independent test at the significance of < 0.05. The difference in mean SBP, DBP, PR, and BT between groups after exercise was p = 0.005, p = 0.320, p = 0.000, and p = 0.100. So giving 500 mL of electrolyte solution 20 minutes before physical exercise can reduce SBP and PR (p<0.05) but can't reduce DBP and BT (p>0.05). Therefore, it is recommended to consume 500 mL of electrolyte solution 20 minutes before physical exercise.
