Abstract
Energy sources for athletes based on their movement patterns come from aerobic and anaerobic metabolism which have the potential to produce lactic acid. The increase in lactic acid causes the pH to decrease so that ATP formation is disturbed and causes pain in the muscles. This situation can affect an athlete’s performance. The antioxidants contained in red dragon fruit can reduce free radicals due to exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving red dragon fruit on reducing levels of lactic acid in an athlete’s blood plasma The subjects were 20 persons, male, who were qualified as athletes, non-smokers and no consumption of supplement as long as the research. The subjects were split into two group, randomly. Group RE; had activity regular exercise and no red dragon fruit given. Group RE+RD; had activity regular exercise and obtained juice from red dragon fruit. The RDF team was given regular exercise and received red dragon fruit juice. Regular exercise combination antioxidant red dragon fruit antioxidants must maintain the anaerobic threshold value to prevent fatigue due to lactic acid.
