Özet:

 


In this study, it was
aimed to investigate the effect of L-carnitine supplements on weight loss and
body composition of taekwondo players. 
Sixteen voluntary male athletes, aged 18-28, were participated in this
study. Athletes were divided into two groups as experiment (supplement) (n=8)
and placebo (n=8). First of all, the body of the athletes was analyzed using
the body composition analyzer. After these analyzes were made, for 7 days, the
experimental group used carnitine and the placebo group used wheat bran. After
7 days of nutrient supplementation, the analyzes performed at the beginning of
the study were repeated. The body fat percentage of the placebo group was found
to be significantly lower than the post-training values (p0.05). When
the intra-group pre- and post-test body composition values of the L-carnitine
group were compared, the post-test averages of skeletal muscle weight, total
body water and metabolic rate increased statistically significantly compared to
the pre-test averages (p0.05). L-carnitine and
placebo groups showed no significant difference in body composition according
to Independent Sample T test results (p>0.05). It was seen that pre-training
L-carnitine consumption helped the athletes to maintain optimal body weight and
increased fat oxidation during exercise by activating fat metabolism and
positively affected fat mass reduction.
