Carbohydrate-Gel Supplementation and Endurance Performance during Intermittent High-Intensity Shuttle Running
Carbohydrate gel intake and endurance during repeated high-intensity shuttle runs
AI simplified
Abstract
Ingesting a carbohydrate gel improved run time to exhaustion from 4.2 ± 1.2 minutes to 6.1 ± 1.3 minutes after prolonged intermittent running.
- Blood glucose levels were higher at multiple time points during exercise when consuming the carbohydrate gel compared to the placebo.
- Participants ingested the carbohydrate gel before and during exercise, which is associated with improved performance.
- The findings suggest that carbohydrate intake may help maintain energy levels during prolonged high-intensity activity.
