It's the newest way to get a drink while you're training

1. Is that why we eat carbohydrates in training at all?
However, carbohydrates are accumulated in the body in limited quantities, which is completely sufficient for short and medium-term workouts. This is followed by a characteristic cut-off, which means a loss of strength and motivation to continue training. One of the main fuels that the body uses during training is carbs, which can be extracted from outside in the form of food or from internal stores called glycogen, which are stored in the muscles and liver. However, when the duration of training exceeds 2 hours, there may be an increase in the amount of hydrogen and an excessive decrease in the level of glucose in the hippocampus.2. Washing your mouth with carbohydrates
This claim is firmly rooted in the scientific and popular science literature. It is rather strange because at this time glycogen and hypoglycemia should not be exhausted. Numerous studies have shown that during shorter workouts (up to 1 hour) it is beneficial to rinse your mouth with an isotonic beverage without the need to swallow it. Although isotony drinks affect many people, in fact most people should live without them. However, it has recently been discovered that consuming carbohydrates in physical activity for about an hour can also improve the performance of sports receptors.3. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to do it again
The group using the carbonated beverage completed the distance faster and generated more power. Unfortunately, the current literature shows that the results of higher intensity exercises, such as interval training, do not improve as a result of the procedure described above. The participants had to overcome the given distance on a stationary bike, during the exercise they were given a carbonated soft drink or water, which they swam and then flushed out. There are many similar studies showing similar results, although most of them were endurance exercisers. One of the first studies to demonstrate this was published in 2004.4. The proposed mechanism of action
In the case of shorter training and mouthwashing, the explanation is much more difficult. However, in one study, it was found that swallowing mouthwashes to select parts of the brain, most likely to the prefrontal cortex and the anterior cortex of the rectum, which are responsible for the connection between the sense of taste and the emotional and cognitive response. The question arises, however, whether it is purely for taste alone.
