PG - 357-366 LID - 10.1080/17461391.2017.1420236 [doi] AB - Mouth rinsing using a carbohydrate (CHO) solution has been suggested to improve physical performance in fasting participants. This study examined the effects of CHO mouth rinsing during Ramadan fasting on running time to exhaustion and on peak treadmill speed (V(peak)). In a counterbalanced crossover design, 18 sub-elite male runners (Age: 21 +/- 2 years, Weight: 68.1 +/- 5.7 kg, VO(2max): 55.4 +/- 4.8 ml/kg/min) who observed Ramadan completed a familiarization trial and three experimental trials. The three trials included rinsing and expectorating a 25 mL bolus of either a 7.5% sucrose solution (CHO), a flavour and taste matched placebo solution (PLA) for 10 s, or no rinse (CON). The treatments were performed prior to an incremental treadmill test to exhaustion. Three-day dietary and exercise records were obtained on two occasions and analysed. Anthropometric characteristics were obtained and recorded for all participants. A main effect for mouth rinse on peak velocity (V(peak)) (CHO: 17.6 +/- 1.5 km/h; PLA: 17.1 +/- 1.4 km/h; CON: 16.7 +/- 1.2 km/h; P < .001, eta(p)(2) = 0.49) and time to exhaustion (CHO: 1282.0 +/- 121.3 s; PLA: 1258.1 +/- 113.4 s; CON: 1228.7 +/- 98.5 s; P = .002, eta(p)(2) = 0.41) was detected, with CHO significantly higher than PLA (P < .05) and CON (P < .05). Oxygen consumption, heart rate, respiratory exchange ratio, and rating of perceived exertion were not significantly different between treatments or trials (P > .05). Energy availability from dietary analysis, body weight, and fat-free mass did not change during the last two weeks of Ramadan (P > .05). This study concludes that carbohydrate mouth rinsing improves running time to exhaustion and peak treadmill speed under Ramadan fasting conditions.
