CONCLUSIONS & FUTURE RESEARCH The intake of 25 g of readily available carbs (maple syrup) can improve the peak running speed and peak oxygen consumption during a graded exercise test at glycogen-depleted status.

HYPOTHESIS RESULTS Study Design: Clinical Trials Randomized Double-blind Placebo-controlled An appropriate intake of both nutrients and energy lay the foundation for optimal athletic performance. Research has suggested that exogenous sources of carbohydrates can increase cardiorespiratory performance in a rested and fasted state when ingested prior to exercise (1,5). Carbohydrate use by both anaerobic and oxidative pathways makes it a versatile fuel source for exercise, and availability can be easily manipulated through daily intake and acute supplementation (2,3). Previous studies have shown increased training adaptions and upregulation of transcriptional and post-translational responses to exercise when training in a glycogen depleted state (3,4). It is suggested that the use of a moderate to low glycemic index carbohydrate is optimal for pre-exercise supplementation (1,5). Maple syrup has a moderate glycemic index (GI=51) relative to pure glucose (GI=103), Making this a potentially effective pre-competition carbohydrate supplement. 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 Glycogen Depleted Glycogen Restored VO2max (L/min) Effects of Pre-test Carbohydrates Intake on Peak VO2 at Glycogen-Depleted and Replenished Conditions Experimental Placebo 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 Glycogen Depleted Glycogen Restored Peak Speed (mile per hour) Effects of Pre-test Carbohydrates Intake on Peak Speed at Glycogen-depleted and Replenished Conditions Experimental Placebo Figure 2: Using an independent t-test to compare the mean values of peak VO 2 and peak running speak revealed no statistically significant difference between the experimental and placebo group, in both a glycogen-depleted and a glycogen-restored state (p>0.05).

Franklin Pierce University produces its own maple syrup from maple trees found on its campus. In collaboration with maple syrup producers, the university athletic department can use this locally sourced product to provide a sustainable energy source for athletes while simultaneously supporting local agriculture. This study examined the effects of acute carbohydrate supplementation on peak VO 2 and peak speed of athletes performing in a glycogen depleted state (GD) versus a rested state (R). Peak speed at which subjects were able to perform remained unaffected by acute supplementation of carbohydrates. Future studies should examine the effects of carbohydrate supplementation of varying glycemic index on athletes under the same glycogen depleted state versus a rested state.
