Previously, it was reported that carbohydrate mouth rinse improves repeated sprint performance. The current study, aimed to explore this postulation by examining the influence of carbohydrate mouth rinse on repeated sprint performance.
The present study, employed a pre-experimental trial. This was parallel with printed recommendations (Hopkins et al., 2001). Moreover, the absence of a practice effect for any performance variable indicates veracity of the pre-experimental trial. Furthermore, Hopkins and colleagues (2001) found that the practice effects are for non-athletes and athletes correspondingly. Thus, it may be implausible to suggests that the practice effects influenced outcomes in this present investigation.

Artificial sweeteners were added to the placebo solution. Perhaps, these sweeteners were detrimental to this investigation. This is because, the artificial sweeteners may have interacted with carbohydrate receptors of the mouth. Thus, a carbohydrate-like placebo may have resembled the effects of the carbohydrate solution. Consequently, it appears that the artificial sweeteners were responsible for no positive correlation between sprint repetition interaction and significant trial (P=0.27). This indicated that the pattern of change in peak power output over the course of the trial was the same between the two conditions. This was further supported by the lack of difference in fatigue index between the two trials. An alternative for CMR could be maltodextrin, because this polysaccharide is a non-sweet carbohydrate (de Ataide e Silva et al., 2013). Thus, it removes the possibility of artificial sweeteners damaging the results. It is argued, however, that polysaccharides receptors for maltodextrin is not present in the oral cavity (Feigin, Sclafani and Sunday, 1987). Thus, more research is …show more content…
A previous study, found that the effect on CMR on performance could be reduced when participants are in a post-prandial state (Fares and Kayser, 2011). Perhaps, the ergogenic effects of CMR may have been better if fasting had been longer. A study demonstrated, however, that overnight fasting had no significant influence on carbohydrate mouth rinsing effects (Chong et al. 2011). Moreover, Prolonged abstinence from food is not practical in sporting competitions. Thus, the issue raised by Chong is not pertinent to this
