Oral carbohydrate sensing enhances prefrontal cortex oxygenation, reduces perceived exertion, and improves high-intensity cycling performance: A randomized crossover trial

Purpose Carbohydrate mouth rinsing (CHO-MR) and music listening (MUS) are non-metabolic interventions proposed to attenuate cognitive and perceptual fatigue during exercise. However, their comparative effects on prefrontal cortical oxygenation, executive func…
