Suplementation of carbohydrate not influence of the decrease of loss of power in indoor climbing

Abstract

Can the supplementation by carbohydrates really increase significantly the indoor climbing? The current search has the objective of proof weather or not the benefits of this type of supplement. The forces were measured by a manual dynamometer. We used 3g per each 1Kg of a physical human body therefore diluted in a amount of 300ml of water ingested 30 minutes prior the retest. The sequences of tests were repeated one week after the first test although the person took malto-dextrin 30 minutes before training. Through the comparison of the two tests, the accepted level of significance of 0.0004 per each p<0.05 (T parried). What really has called our attention was the recovering post training with and without the supplementation. The power decrease was smaller on the person when the supplement was not used contradicting the recovering with the use of the supplement. Although the majority of the results from tests including the use of the carbohydrate supplement was better specially considering the less power loss during the post training period, the results from the T parried tests did not have a significant level increase considering the results of 0.42 per each p<0.05. The force measured on the post training test without any use of supplement resulted on 46.8 kgf while with the addition of supplement the force was 48.15 kgf. This result was not very significant to affirm that malto-dextrin is really efficient considering the decrease on the power loss post training.
