The Effects of Chocolate Milk and White Milk on the Hydration Status After Playing Tennis

Abstract

The main problem when the author makes observations on tennis players at the State University of Padang is that many players do not pay attention to the intake of fluids consumed after playing tennis. It is feared that it can slow down the post-training recovery process to return the body to its previous state, so it is necessary to conduct research on the intake of fluids consumed after playing tennis. This study aims to analyze: (1) the effect of giving chocolate and white milk on hydration status after playing tennis, and (2) the difference in the effect of giving chocolate milk and white milk on hydration status after playing tennis. This research uses experimental methods. The subjects of this research were male gender tennis players at the State University of Padang, totaling 20 people. Instrument for measuring hydration status using an Urinometer. The data analysis technique used was ANOVA (one way) at a significant level α = 0.05. The results show that giving chocolate and white milk after playing tennis has not been able to maintain hydration status, as evidenced by the difference in hydration status values before and after playing tennis. However, chocolate milk was better at maintaining hydration status after playing tennis compared to white milk with a significant difference (p <0.05). The data analysis technique used was ANOVA (one way) at a significant level α = 0.05. The results show that giving chocolate and white milk after playing tennis has not been able to maintain hydration status, as evidenced by the difference in hydration status values before and after playing tennis. However, chocolate milk was better at maintaining hydration status after playing tennis compared to white milk with a significant difference (p <0.05).
