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> Supplementation, Glutamine, Glucose, Aerobic Power, Athlete Girls 25 30 http://aassjournal.com/browse.php?a_code=A-11-563-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Banafsheh Amin banafshe_amin@hotmail.com 10031947532846003884 10031947532846003884 Yes Department of physical education and sport science, Najafabad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Najafabad, Iran Mohammad Karimi karimi.m@qut.ac.ir 10031947532846003885 10031947532846003885 No Faculty of sciences, Qom University of Technology, Qom, Iran
