Abstract

Muscle overuse during exercise increases the risk of muscle injury. L-citrulline, one of the ergogenic substances highly found in watermelon, is frequently used to reduce muscle soreness. This study aimed to compare the effects of pure L-citrulline and watermelon juice in reducing delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and muscle damage using uric acid as a marker for inflammation. A single-blind controlled trial was employed among 33 participants selected with a purposive sampling method. The participants were given either a mineral water drink containing 1.2 g of L-citrulline supplementation, 750 ml of watermelon juice, or a bottle of mineral water as a placebo administered 2-h before exercise. A multiple-sprint with a deceleration phase was used to induce DOMS. There was a significant decrease of DOMS 12 h and 24 h post-exercise with watermelon juice and pure L-citrulline (p=0.001). However, there was no significant difference in effectiveness between both forms of supplementation (p = 0.748). There were no significant changes in uric acid levels post-exercise with both forms of supplementation. Both watermelon juice and pure L-citrulline show similar effectiveness in improving subjective feelings of DOMS but fail to provide evidence of their ability to reduce muscle inflammation significantly via the reduction of uric acid levels.

Abstract

Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) contribute to 74% of global mortality and are responsible for 73% of national casualties. It had been predicted that in 2024, the number of patients with NCDs in Indonesia will be around 92 million people, and among others, hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM) are significant health burdens in this country. This paper presents a community service activity aimed at screening for NCDs in Sana Village, Sragen Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. Methods: An integrated assisted post (Posbindu)was held for early detection and to monitor the main risk factors of NCDs, particularly hypertension and DM. Fifty working-age adults from the Sana village were targeted to attend the Posbindu. Blood pressure and blood glucose levels were measured, followed by treatment and health counseling by the medical students, Mondokan health center officers, and local midwives. Results: The activity was well appreciated by the local community, with a participation rate of 226% (113 attendees out of 50 people targeted), consisting of 22 men and 91 women aged 22–93 years old. Hypertension and DM were detected in 61.9% (70/113) and 5.3% (6/113) participants. Conclusion: The high prevalence of NCDs, particularly hypertension, highlights the importance of maintaining physical fitness and carrying out health checks regularly. Thus, NCD screening through Posbindu is expected to be sustainable.
