Effect carbohydrates mouth rinse on repeated sprints time among UiTM Pahang footballers / Muhamad Zul Harith Mohd Zakaria Soh

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of carbohydrates mouth rinse on
repeated sprint time among UiTM Pahang footballers. Fifteen footballer's players
(age: 19.53 ± 1.50 years; weight: 61.33 ± 5.150 kg) were recruited in this' study.
Subjects undergo three experimental trial conditions which are carbohydrate mouth
rinse using 6.4 % dextrose (CHO), placebo using stevia (PLA) and control using
plain water (CON). All subject need to rinse before repeated sprints start. Quantity
for each solution is 25ml for every rinse. Subjects finish repeated sprints ability test
consists of six sprints of 40 m (going! return = 20 m + 20 m), the 20s of passive
recovery between every sprint. Repeated sprint time (RSA mean) was recorded. Oneway
ANOVA was used to analyse this data and for repeated measures showed
significant difference p;' 0.00 (p<O.05) in RSA mean (CHO =7.26s ± 0.96s; PLA =
7.34s ± 0.62s; CON = 7.41s ± 0.87s). The finding of this study showed that
carbohydrate mouth rinse gives positive effect to the repeated sprint time among
UiTM Pahang footballers.
