<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><strong>Background. </strong>Maximal Aerobic Power is related to many quantities and qualities such as supplements. </span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><strong>Objectives. </strong>The purpose of the present study was to describe the effect of short-term supplementation of glutamine and glucose on hemoglobin and maximum aerobic power in female athletes. </span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><strong>Methods. </strong>In this quasi-experimental study, 40 female athletes (age 21.9±2.6 years, height 161.8±5.1 cm, weight 57.8±6.3 kg, BMI 21.9±1.5 kg/m2) volunteered to participate in the present study. Before intervention, the participants were divided randomly into four equal groups (each group=10); placebo, glutamine supplement (0.3 g/kg body weight), glucose supplement (1.0 g/kg body weight) and glutamine-glucose combination supplement. VO2max measured using Bruce protocol and also, hemoglobin concentrations were measured via blood sampling at 12h fasting state. The experimental groups did two-week supplementation accompanied with moderate intensity aerobic exercise, three sessions per week and (45-60) minutes per session. At the end of period of supplementation VO2max and hemoglobin values were measured again. </span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><strong>Results. </strong>Short-term supplementation of glutamine (P=0.0001), glucose (P=0.0001) and glutamine-glucose (P=0.0001) improved significantly VO2max values. Also, hemoglobin levels increased significantly in glutamine (P=0.012) and glutamine-glucose (P=0.0001) groups. </span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><strong>Conclusion. </strong>It seems that short-term supplementation of glutamine, glucose and glutamine-glucose may lead to improvement in aerobic performance in young female athletes.</span></span></p>
