Acute Effects of Menthol Gargle and Buccal Film on Anaerobic Capacity and Respiratory Parameters in Male Volleyball Players

The study examined the effects of menthol on the performance of volleyball players. The research compared three groups: a control group with water, a group using menthol gargle, and a group using menthol buccal film. Participants were male volleyball players. The study focused on measuring anaerobic capacity and respiratory parameters. Menthol interventions were applied acutely, in a short-term timeframe. The research was completed and data were collected. The objective was to determine whether menthol has a positive effect on physical performance and breathing during intense physical activity.
