AB  - The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a carbohydrate (CHO) gel 
      on performance after prolonged intermittent high-intensity shuttle running. Seven 
      male soccer players performed 2 exercise trials, 7 d apart. On each occasion, 
      participants completed five 15-min periods of intermittent variable-speed 
      running, interspersed with periods of walking (Part A), followed by an 
      intermittent run to exhaustion (Part B). Participants consumed either a CHO gel 
      or placebo (PLA) immediately before exercise (0.89 mL/kg body mass [BM]) and 
      every 15 min thereafter (0.35 mL/kg BM). In addition, water was consumed at a 
      rate of 5 mL/kg BM before and 2 mL/kg BM every 15 min during exercise. Blood 
      glucose levels were higher (P < 0.05) at 15, 30, and 60 min of exercise and at 
      exhaustion in CHO than in PLA. During Part B, run time to exhaustion was longer 
      (P < 0.05) in the CHO trial (CHO 6.1 +/- 1.3 min vs. PLA 4.2 +/- 1.2 min). These 
      results indicate that ingesting a CHO gel, along with water, improves performance 
      after prolonged intermittent running in healthy male subjects, possibly by 
      maintaining blood glucose levels during exercise.
