Effect of carbohydrate mouth rinsing on multiple sprint performance

Table 1 Absolute and standardized differences (effect size) between trials for sprint measures during the RSA and LIST tests

	Absolute difference	Effect size	Percentage difference (90% confidence intervals)	Practical interpretation
RSA average sprint time (s)	0.016 (↑)	0.09	0.5 (± 3.2)	Unclear
RSA fastest sprint time (s)	0.018 (↑)	0.10	0.8 (± 3.7)	Unclear
LIST average sprint time (s)	0.022 (↓)	0.10	0.3 (± 2.4)	Unclear

Percentage change with 90% confidence intervals and practical interpretations of magnitude-based inferences are also shown.
Note: Absolute differences are differences in mean. Upward (↑) and downward (↓) arrows represent whether the absolute difference is an improvement or decrement in performance when mouth rinsing CHO. Practical interpretations were considered unclear if 90% confidence intervals overlapped the smallest worthwhile change (0.8%).
