Abstract: The objective of this study is to evaluate the antifaigue effects of sport beverage made of mung bean. After single oral administration of the sample (0.2ml/10g dose) to mice by the gastric intubation, the weight- loaded swimming time of the mice is recorded. The fatigue indexes, including serum urea nitrogen, liver glycogen and serum lactic acid concentration of the mice are assayed. The results showed that the mung bean sport beverage can prolong the weight-loaded swimming time (p<0.01) and increase the reserve of liver glycogen. The mung bean sport beverage can restrain the accumulation of serum lactic acid level in mice while the animals take rest. It has no effect on the serum urea nitrogen concentration of the mice. All the results showed that the mung bean beverage shows obvious antifatigue effects.

Key words: mung bean, sport beverage, antifatigue effects
