“…In another study, with healthy non-athletic adults, no significant differences were found among different sport supplements in blood lactate, heart rate recovery or post-exercise muscle soreness. However, when females had acute watermelon juice supplementation (355 mL) it prevented increased diastolic blood pressure and postexercise systolic pressure; such responses were not obtained in men [139].…”

L-Arginine (Arg) has been widely used due to its functional properties as a substrate for nitric oxide (NO) generation. However, L-citrulline (CIT), whose main natural source is watermelon, is a non-essential amino acid but which has important health potential. This review provides a comprehensive approach to different studies of the endogenous synthesis of CIT, metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics as well as its ergogenic effect in exercise performance. The novel aspect of this paper focuses on the different effects of CIT, citrulline malate and CIT from natural sources such as watermelon on several topics, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, erectile dysfunction, cancer, and exercise performance. CIT from watermelon could be a natural food-sourced substitute for pharmacological products and therefore the consumption of this fruit is promoted.

“…Kelelahan hebat sangat memperngaruhi fisik maupun psikologis, dapat menyebabkan kondisi rawan cedera bagi usia balita dan kanakkanak (Xu, 2016). Fase pemulihan di dalam aktivitas berenang dimasa pandemi COVID-19 dibutuhkan guna mengembalikan homeostatis tubuh seperti sedia kala (Xiong et al, 2018), (Gong et al, 2019), (Blohm et al, 2019). Kondisi demikian sangat mendukung secara psikologis untuk melanjutkan aktivitas olahraga ke tahap berikutnya karena kondisi fisiologis tubuh berada dalam keadaan seimbang atau tidak kelelahan (Lyu et al, 2019).…”

The aim of this study was to discover the difference in effectiveness between sports massage, stretching, and conventional recovery in healing body temperature and heart rate after swimming based on the gender of the child. This study used an experimental method with a 2x3 factorial design involving independent variables in the form of the effectiveness of conventional sports massage, stretching, and recovery, and the dependent variables in the form of body temperature and heart rate. We were found that the stretching technique was more effective in restoring body temperature. Meanwhile, conventional massage and recovery techniques are more effective in restoring heart rate. During the Covid-19 pandemic, trainees needed a faster recovery using sports massage and/or conventional recovery methods, to speed up recovery from fatigue and accelerate fitness improvement.

“…Three studies did not receive any funding [30,36,40], while one study did not report any information on funding or grants [27]. Ten studies mentioned that their supplements were provided by Pronat Laboratories, NOW Foods, Milne Fruits or Cobell Ltd without receiving any direct funding [31,32,35,37,39,[45][46][47][48][49], while two studies reported that they received funding from the National Watermelon Promotion Board [41,44].…”

Effects of l-citrulline supplementation and watermelon consumption on longer-term and postprandial vascular function and cardiometabolic risk markers: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials in adults

2021

L-citrulline may improve non-invasive vascular function and cardiometabolic risk markers through increases in L-arginine bioavailability and nitric oxide synthesis. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed to examine longer-term and postprandial effects of L-citrulline supplementation and watermelon consumption on these markers for cardiovascular disease in adults. Summary estimates of weighted mean differences (WMDs) in vascular function and cardiometabolic risk markers with accompanying 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random or fixed-effect meta-analyses. Seventeen RCTs were included involving an L-citrulline intervention, of which six studied postprandial and twelve longer-term effects. Five studies investigated longer-term effects of watermelon consumption and five assessed effects during the postprandial phase. Longer-term L-citrulline supplementation improved brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) by 0.9 %-point (95 % CI: 0.7 to 1.1, P < 0.001). Longer-term watermelon consumption improved pulse wave velocity by 0.9 m/s (95% CI: 0.1 to 1.5, P < 0.001), while effects on FMD were not studied. No postprandial effects on vascular function markers were found. Postprandial glucose concentrations decreased by 0.6 mmol/L (95% CI: 0.4 to 0.7, P < 0.001) following watermelon consumption, but no other longer-term or postprandial effects were observed on cardiometabolic risk markers. To conclude, longer-term L-citrulline supplementation and watermelon consumption may improve vascular function, suggesting a potential mechanism by which increased L-citrulline intake beneficially affects cardiovascular health outcomes in adults. No effects on postprandial vascular function markers were found, while more research is needed to investigate effects of L-citrulline and watermelon on risk markers related to cardiometabolic health.
