Mouth rinse and exercise performance, some questions?
1) How many times MR should or could be applied? Would rinsing it during a time trial have effect, if it is done every 5 min, 10 min, 15 min?
2) Can it be used in training which has problems with gut, such as gymnastics or swimming?
3) Can it be used in strength and condition training? For instance will it lead to better results.
4) If is has not been researched would it be interesting to create an experiment with ingestion and placebo's in case of strength training protocols?

Hi Peter
A study examining CHO and caffeine mouth rinses and bench press performance that may be useful to answer one of your questions
Hi Peter!
Interesting questions!
1) How many times MR should or could be applied? Would rinsing it during a time trial have effect, if it is done every 5 min, 10 min, 15 min?
No study was designed to investigate this. A study by Gant et al. showed imediate responses such as improved force when CHO is rinsed.
2) Can it be used in training which has problems with gut, such as gymnastics or swimming?
One of the practical application of the CHO rinse is it. Since it is not swallowed, athlets which has gut problems could use without side effects.
3) Can it be used in strength and condition training? For instance will it lead to better results.
The better responses of the CHO mouth rinse is in endurance exercise. In strength and condition training apparently have no effect
4) If is has not been researched would it be interesting to create an experiment with ingestion and placebo's in case of strength training protocols?
Yes, some studies has demonstrated positive effects other no effect of CHO mouth rinse in strength training protocols. The results are not consistent.
