Effects of acute carbohydrate ingestion on anaerobic exercise performance

Table 6 Performance during two-foot line jumps

		Total touches	15 g/h	30 g/h	60 g/h
2 ft Line Jumps	CON	27.9 ± 2.1	3.4 %; -0.1 to 2.0 (0.39) 92.4 %, likely (16) p = 0.14	3.4 %; -0.1 to 2.0 (0.39) 92.4 %, likely (16) p = 0.14	2.7 %; -1.0 to 2.5 (0.25) 77.4 %, likely (65) p = 0.42
	15 g/h	28.8 ± 2.7		-1.3 %; -1.3 to 0.6 (0.14) 21.1 %, unlikely (197) p = 0.47	-0.7 %; -2.1 to 1.7 (0.06) 40.4 %, possibly (2511) p = 0.85
	30 g/h	28.4 ± 2.8			0.7 %; -1.2 to 1.6 (0.06) 57.0 %, possibly (2194) p = 0.80
	60 g/h	28.6 ± 3.7

Data indicate total touches with ingestion of 15, 30, and 60 g/h of 2:1 glucose: fructose (mean total repetitions ± SD) and %improvement in total touches [1st line: %improvement, 90 % confidence interval limits, and Cohen’s effect size (ES; in parentheses); 2nd line: chances (% and qualitative) of meaningful improvement (>0.5 % CV) and sample size needed for a magnitude-based inference about the practical significance of the observed changes in performance for a power of 80 % (in parentheses); 3^rd line: exact P value from pairwise t-tests]
