Abstract

Lactic acid is a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism that builds up after anaerobic physical activity. Cucumber and green melon contain potassium and citrulline, compounds that help accelerate the decrease in lactic acid levels. This study aims to determine and compare the effectiveness of giving a combination of cucumber, green melon, and honey juice on reducing lactic acid after anaerobic activity in Sprague dawley rats. The study used a true experimental design with a pretest and posttest with control group design. A total of 30 male rats aged 6 to 8 weeks were divided into five groups namely K negative without intervention and K positive only 1 minute swimming and M1 1 minute swimming and 30:70 dose and M2 swimming and 70:30 dose and M3 1 minute swimming and 50:50 dose. Lactic acid was measured from the tail vein using lactate meter. Data were tested using Shapiro Wilk and differences between groups were analyzed using one way ANOVA followed by Post Hoc LSD test. : Mean lactic acid at baseline was 34.17 mg per dL, increasing after swimming to 65.33 mg per dL is (K positive), 69.67 mg per dL (M1), 64.67 mg per dL (M2), and 66.67 mg per dL (M3). After juice administration, the levels decreased to 29.67 mg per dL (M1), 24.67 mg per dL (M2), and 37.33 mg per dL (M3). The dose that best reduced lactic acid levels after anaerobic activity was treatment M1 with a dose of 30:70
