DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention promotes the burning of fat as an energy source during exercise by containing a hawthorn fruit component, and as a result, has an effect of improving endurance and an effect of suppressing accumulation of body fat. A food or drink characterized by the above.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are various training methods for improving endurance, the points of which are improvement of systemic circulation ability and improvement of aerobic oxidizing ability of working muscles (exercise physiology, second Edition, Kyorin Shoin, pp349-
371). It is generally known that endurance training enhances cardiopulmonary function and improves maximal oxygen uptake (Exercise Physiology, 3rd ed., Lea & Febi
ger, Philadelphia, pp330-337). It is also known that the type of muscle fiber and the energy supply system change in working muscles (Ann. New York Acad. Sci., 301,
23-29, 1977). There are various types of exercise, and the type differs depending on the energy supply system and the energy source used. In the type of exercise that requires high energy in a short time, energy is mainly supplied from the ATP-CP system and glycolysis system, and glycogen is the main energy source. On the other hand, in endurance-type exercises, energy is supplied mainly through the oxidizing system, i.e., the TCA cycle and the electron transfer system.At that time, the proportion of fatty acids is higher than that of glycogen as an energy source. Known (International Series on Sport Sciences vo
l.21, Human KineticsBooks, Champaign, IL, pp319-32
7, 1990). The amount of fat stored in the body varies from individual to individual but is about 70,000 kcal, whereas the amount of glycogen stored is about 2000 kcal (Endurance Science, Kyorin Shoin, pp.
142-165). That is, it is considered that during endurance exercise, which consumes a great deal of energy, fat is preferentially burned to save glycogen, thereby prolonging endurance exercise time, that is, improving endurance.

On the other hand, excessive accumulation of body fat, that is, obesity is well known as a cause of adult diseases. There are various means to prevent obesity, but exercise is one of the most effective ways to prevent obesity. In other words, burning fat by exercising results in suppressing excess accumulation of body fat. It is generally known that endurance training increases the fat burning ratio (Ann. Rev. Phisiol., 38, 273-291 1976), but ingesting functional foods leads to fat burning. Is considered to be very important in terms of improving endurance and suppressing accumulation of body fat.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to improve the endurance and the effect of a component which suppresses the accumulation of body fat by promoting the burning rate of fat as an energy source during exercise. It is to provide food and drink experimentally supported.
