Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Improvement in physical performance of the athlete under the influence of the technique carbohydrate mouth rinse during a 30km time trial test, measured by the exercise time in minutes.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Changes in the physiological responses during the carbohydrate oral rash technique, verified from blood glucose, insulin, glucagon, cortisol and lactate levels, measured at different moments of the test, from individuals' blood collection.;Maintenance of the parameters of hydration during the oral caries with carbohydrates, verified from the analysis of the body mass change, urine staining and uranálise. For body mass analysis, the athlete will be weighed before and after the race. For urine staining and uranysis, urine samples will be collected from the participants, before and after the test.
