Abstract
Carbohydrate mouth rinse (CMR) enhances aerobic performance lasting ≥ 30 minutes and some anaerobic and skill-related performance. This study evaluated the effects of a CMR on four soccer-specific skills in fasted collegiate female athletes. Participants completed a control session and two counterbalanced, double-blind experimental sessions, during which participants rinsed with either a carbohydrate (CHO; 6% maltodextrin) or taste- and color-matched placebo (PLA) solution following a high-intensity soccer practice. Participants then performed passing, agility, juggling, and shooting tasks. Thirst sensation, rating of perceived exertion, and heart rate (HR) were assessed throughout sessions. No significant differences (p >.05) were observed between experimental trials for any of the soccer-specific skills or perceptual variables. Average (p = .094) and maximal HR (p = .334) were not significantly different across all sessions. The results do not support the use of CMR to enhance performance of soccer skill-related tasks in female collegiate athletes.
