Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse Exercise Performance Randomized TrialNo effect of CHO mouth rinse on muscular endurance, maximum power output, or maximum oxygen consumption (VO 2 max) was found ( p > 0.05).1Zalagkitis C (2026)Effects of Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse on Human Capacity and Performance-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 90 Controlled Trials.
Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse Exercise Performance Randomized TrialConclusions : The available evidence suggests that CHO mouth rinse can produce a small, outcome-dependent ergogenic effect in distance covered, performance time and speed performance as well as small improvements in workload, with less robust evidence for MVC-evidence that mainly applies to male participants.1Zalagkitis C (2026)Effects of Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse on Human Capacity and Performance-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 90 Controlled Trials.
Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse Exercise Performance Randomized TrialObjective : The aim of the current systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the acute effects of carbohydrate (CHO) mouth rinse on exercise capacity and performance in humans of any health and fitness status.1Zalagkitis C (2026)Effects of Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse on Human Capacity and Performance-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 90 Controlled Trials.
Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse Exercise Performance Randomized TrialEligibility criteria included adult humans > 18 years old at any health and fitness status undertaking any CHO mouth rinse prior and during of any type of acute exercise session.1Zalagkitis C (2026)Effects of Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse on Human Capacity and Performance-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 90 Controlled Trials.
Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse Exercise Performance Randomized TrialOverall, CHO mouth rinsing improved cognitive function under fed conditions compared with placebo, though certainty was very low.1Deng H (2025)Fed, not fasted: is carbohydrate mouth rinsing still ergogenic? A three-level meta-analysis.
Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse Exercise Performance Randomized TrialMeta-analysis showed a small but significant ergogenic effect on exercise performance (Hedges' g = 0.18, 95% CI [0.09, 0.28], p Conclusions This systematic review and three-level meta-analysis provides evidence that CHO mouth rinsing is ergogenic under fed conditions, improving both exercise and cognitive performance, though the overall certainty of evidence is low.1Deng H (2025)Fed, not fasted: is carbohydrate mouth rinsing still ergogenic? A three-level meta-analysis.
Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse Exercise Performance Randomized TrialBackground Carbohydrate (CHO) mouth rinsing improves performance by stimulating oral receptors linked to brain regions involved in motor control and motivation, without requiring digestive processing.1Deng H (2025)Fed, not fasted: is carbohydrate mouth rinsing still ergogenic? A three-level meta-analysis.
Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse Exercise Performance Randomized TrialMost research has focused on fasting states, but the effects of postprandial CHO mouth rinsing remain inconclusive.1Deng H (2025)Fed, not fasted: is carbohydrate mouth rinsing still ergogenic? A three-level meta-analysis.
