This study investigated the impact that mouth rinsing carbohydrate solution has on skill-specific performance and reaction time following a fatigue-inducing bout of fencing in epee fencers. Nine healthy, national-level epee fencers visited a laboratory on two occasions, separated by a minimum of five days, to complete a 1-minute lunge test and Stroop test pre- and post-fatigue. Heart rate and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were recorded during completion of the fatiguing protocol. Between fights the participant's mouth rinsed for 10 seconds, either 25 ml of 6.7% maltodextrin solution (MALT) or water (PLAC). Blood lactate and glucose were recorded at baseline, pre- and post-testing. Results showed an increase in heart rate and overall RPE over time in both conditions. There were no differences in blood glucose (F(1,8) = .63, P = .4, η = .07) or blood lactate levels (F(1,8) = .12, P = .70, η = .01) between conditions as a function of time. There was a significant improvement in lunge test accuracy during the MALT trial (F(1,8) = 5.21, P = .05, η = .40) with an increase from pre (81.2 ± 8.3%) to post (87.6 ± 9.4%), whereas there was no significant change during the placebo (pre 82.1 ± 8.8%, post 78.8 ± 6.4%). There were no recorded differences between conditions in response time to congruent (F(1,8) = .33, P = .58, η = .04) or incongruent stimuli (F(1,8) = .19, P = .68, η = .02). The study indicates that when fatigued mouth rinsing MALT significantly improves accuracy of skill-specific fencing performance but no corresponding influence on reaction time was observed.
本研究调查了击剑重剑运动员在经历诱发疲劳的一轮击剑后,漱口碳水化合物溶液对特定技能表现和反应时间的影响。九名健康的国家级重剑运动员分两次前往实验室,两次之间至少间隔五天,以在疲劳前后完成1分钟的弓步冲刺测试和斯特鲁普测试。在完成疲劳方案期间记录心率和主观用力程度(RPE)评分。在两场比赛之间,参与者漱口10秒,要么是25毫升6.7%的麦芽糊精溶液(MALT),要么是水(PLAC)。在基线、测试前和测试后记录血乳酸和血糖。结果显示,在两种情况下,心率和总体RPE均随时间增加。作为时间的函数,不同条件下的血糖(F(1,8) = 0.63,P = 0.4,η = 0.07)或血乳酸水平(F(1,8) = 0.12,P = 0.70,η = 0.01)没有差异。在MALT试验期间,弓步冲刺测试的准确性有显著提高(F(1,8) = 5.21,P = 0.05,η = 0.40),从测试前的(81.2 ± 8.3%)增加到测试后的(87.6 ± 9.4%),而在安慰剂试验期间没有显著变化(测试前82.1 ± 8.8%,测试后78.8 ± 6.4%)。在对一致(F(1,8) = 0.33,P = 0.58,η = 0.04)或不一致刺激的反应时间方面,不同条件之间没有记录到差异(F(1,8) = 0.19,P = 0.68,η = 0.02)。该研究表明,疲劳时漱口MALT可显著提高特定技能击剑表现的准确性,但未观察到对反应时间有相应影响。
