| Abstract | A randomized, single-blind, crossover study examined the effect of high-density glucose (HDG) polymer supplementation on swimming performance, specifically in 200-meter events (middle-distance events). Reis et al. (2012) affirmed that middle distance in competitive swimming involved sudden transitions from rest to high intensity during exercise, and they chose the 400m front-crawl swim in their design because of the event’s abrupt increase in energy demand. Meanwhile, Costa et al. (2020) noted in their study that 200m events were considered middle-distance because they usually involved aerobic and anaerobic aspects, as they lasted around 3-4 minutes, which meant elite swimmers needed a sizeable aerobic capacity and aerobic power to produce their power output as fast as they could. Nine well-trained collegiate swimmers participated in this study for two days with at least a 48-hour rest between tests. One day's test was allotted for each type of intervention, with HDG as the experimental and sports drink (SD) as the control. The primary research question focused on the effects of HDG on the performance and perceived recovery of collegiate middle-distance swimmers. Based on the data gathered, HDG has no significant impact on split times or immediate recovery, but participants had a faster recovery rate when HDG was supplemented compared to SD. |
