- Abstract
The combined effects of Malaysian Tualang honey (TH) and countermovement jumping exercise on muscular performance among inactive young males were explored in this study. Methods: A total of 40 participants were recruited and randomly assigned into four groups, i.e., control (C), honey (H), jumping (J), and combined jumping with honey (JH) groups. The countermovement jumping exercise consisted of 2 sessions/day, 3 sessions/week for 6 weeks. Participants in H and JH groups consumed 20 g of TH in the morning daily for 6 weeks. Pre- and post-tests were conducted on participant's anthropometric parameters, vertical jump height, standing long jump distance, isokinetic muscular peak torque (strength), and average power on the dominant leg. Two-way mixed ANOVA was used for statistical analysis. Results: In J and JH groups, there was a significant increase by 7.75% in the J group and 16.80% in the JH group in height of the vertical jump. There was also a significant increase (p < 0.05) in the distance of standing long jump in H, J, and JH groups. Among all, JH group showed the highest improvement compared to other groups. Regarding isokinetic muscular performance parameters, JH group showed a significant increase (p < 0.05) in knee extension peak torque at 300os-1, flexion peak torque at 300°s-1, extension average power at 60°s-1, extension average power at 300°s-1, flexion average power at 60°s-1, and flexion average power at 300°s-1. In the J group, knee extension average power at 300os-1 significantly increased. Conclusion: Combination of countermovement jumping exercise with TH increases muscular strength and power in young males.
