Abstract
Objective: To evaluate banana beverage intake before exercise in relation to mood state and upper-body endurance in female athletes with premenstrual syndrome during the luteal phase.
Methods and Materials: Thirty-six trained female athletes were randomized to banana beverage or placebo (18 allocated per group). Two did not complete the protocol; analysis was per protocol. The banana beverage contained 80 g of banana powder in 360 mL water, and placebo contained 12 g glucose in 360 mL water. Outcomes were the six Brunel Mood Scale subscales and 30-second and 60-second push-up performance.
Findings: In the banana group, 60-second push-up performance increased from 29.00 ± 8.11 to 34.42 ± 9.22 repetitions (within-group p< .001); a group × time interaction was reported (p< .01). The 30-second test did not change significantly. Nominal within-group reductions were reported for tension, depression, anger, fatigue and confusion, with no significant change in vigour. Mood findings require cautious interpretation because of multiple comparisons and incomplete interaction estimates.
Conclusion: Banana beverage intake was associated with improved 60-second push-up performance and changes in selected negative mood domains under the study conditions. Larger trials with fully specified scoring and complete between-group effect estimates are needed.
