Summary: | 碩士 === 國立體育大學 === 運動科學研究所 === 101 === The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the acute dose of nicotine patch could alter the catecholamine secretion and thereby affecting the muscle force, explosive power and reaction time among college male students. The subjects were nine male students (22.2 ± 1.4 years) from the National Taiwan Sports University. Participants received the treatments of nicotine group (NIC) and placebo (PLB) test followed by crossing over experimental design. Both groups were examined the muscle force, explosive power and reaction time of the indicated exercise. Paired T-test stat was used to analyze the differences between those two groups. There was no statistically significance difference in terms of urine catecholamines between those two groups. However, muscle force, explosive power and reaction time were all significantly differences (P <.05) from each other . The results showed that acute dose of nicotine patch could possibly enhance not only the subjects' muscle force and explosive power, but also prolonging the reaction time.
