Effect of 6% Maltodextrin Intake on Capillary Lactate Concentration in Soccer Players

Recent literature suggests that ergogenic substances may play a beneficial role in intermittent exercise. Maltodextrin supplementation has been investigated soccer players, but few studies have reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect 6% maltodextrin on capillary lactate players. carried out during training, which characterised by intense activity (90 min). Participants (n = 24) were randomly allocated control (water) and intervention (6% solution) groups. Capillary levels evaluated at pre-exercise (0 min—t0), exercise (45 min—t1), post-exercise min—t2) moments. At t1, mean concentration value significantly higher players not supplemented with (5.47 mmol/L) than (4.79 mmol/L).
