Cold fluid ingestion does not enhance exogenous carbohydrate oxidation during prolonged endurance exercise in the heat.

This study investigated the effects of ingesting cold vs warm carbohydrate beverages on exogenous carbohydrate oxidation and time-trial performance during prolonged cycling in the heat. Eleven trained, non-heat-acclimated cyclists (21 ± 3 yr; 69.3 ± 8.3 kg; V̇O2peak: 64.7 ± 5.0 mL/kg/min) completed two trials comprisin...
