Figure 2From: Post-prandial carbohydrate ingestion during 1-h of moderate-intensity, intermittent cycling does not improve mood, perceived exertion, or subsequent power output in recreationally-active exercisersRatings of perceived exertion by time point and beverage (mean ± SD). † = (p < 0.001) between RPE for all other time points during 50 min of sub-maximal cycling. No main effect exhibited for beverage type during sub-maximal cycling (p = 0.72) or for S (p = 0.88). S = session RPE; W = water; NCE = flavored non-caloric electrolyte beverage; CE = flavored caloric electrolyte beverage.Back to article page
