Neural
Carbohydrate ingestion led to a 13% longer exercise time to fatigue compared to placebo during intense constant load cycling.
Ingesting carbohydrates before and during intense cycling may enhance endurance performance.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Exercise time to fatigue was 13% longer with CHO ingestion compared to PLA (58:54+/- 8:48 vs. 51: 18 +/- 5:54 min:s, NS).
