(2) Methods: Twenty healthy adult men (age: 22.4 \u00b1 3.7 years, body mass index: 26 \u00b1 3.8, peak power: 378.3 \u00b1 138.7 W) were recruited in this study. Participants were employed in a double-blind, randomized crossover design to divide participants into carbohydrate mouth rinsing trial (CMR) and placebo trial (PL). After warming up, participants used 6.6% maltodextrin (CMR) or mineral water (PL) to rinse their mouth for 20 s. Next, the participants underwent tests of maximum inertial Romanian deadlift resistance exercise comprising five sets of six reps, with 3 min rests between sets. After deducting the first repetition of each set, the mean values from the five sets were analyzed. (3) Results: The concentric peak power of the CMR trial was significantly higher than that of the PL trial (p = 0.001, Cohen\u2019s d = 0.46), the eccentric peak power of the CMR trial was significantly higher than that of the PL trial (p = 0.008, Cohen\u2019s d = 0.56), and the total work of the CMR trial was significantly higher than that of PL trial (p = 0.002, Cohen\u2019s d = 0.51). (4) Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that mouth rinsing with carbohydrates before exercise can improve concentric and eccentric contraction strength in multi-joint resistance exercise performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16081248","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,22]],"date-time":"2024-04-22T09:53:52Z","timestamp":1713779632000},"page":"1248","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Carbohydrate Mouth Rinses before Exercise Improve Performance of Romanian Deadlift Exercise: A Randomized Crossover Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Tsung-Jen","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Physical Education Center, Feng Chia University, Taichung City 407, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi-Jie","family":"Shiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Che-Hsiu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Performance, National Taiwan University of Sport, Taichung 404, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheng-Yan","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Department of Exercise Health Science, National Taiwan University of Sport, Taichung 404, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ya-Ying","family":"Hsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jaunan Elementary School, Miaoli 350, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chih-Hui","family":"Chiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Department of Exercise Health Science, National Taiwan University of Sport, Taichung 404, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"25","DOI":"10.1007\/s40279-014-0148-z","article-title":"A step towards personalized sports nutrition: Carbohydrate intake during exercise","volume":"44","author":"Jeukendrup","year":"2014","journal-title":"Sports Med."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1123","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsams.2017.04.015","article-title":"The influence of a 12% carbohydrate-electrolyte beverage on self-paced soccer-specific exercise performance","volume":"20","author":"Harper","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
