Farklı Konsantrasyonlardaki Karbonhidrat Çözeltilerinin Ağızda Çalkalanmasının Dayanıklılık Performansına Etkisi

Abstract

It is reported that mouth rinsing with carbohydrate (CHO) solutions improves endurance performance. Research suggested that the improvement in exercise performance by CHO mouth rinsing may be due to activation of brain regions believed to be involved in reward. These findings come up with the question that mouth rinsing with different concentrations of CHO solutions could activate brain reward regions at different degrees and may improve performance accordingly. Hence, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of CHO mouth rinsing with different CHO concentrations (3%, 6% or 12%) on endurance performance. Nine recreationally active, healthy men (24.22 2.22 years; VO2max= 46.77 4.91 ml kg min) participated in this study which was designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized protocol. Participants visited the laboratory 5 times.
