Synopsis:
- Study assessed whether NZBC could help athletes maintain the performance of repeated maximal sprints in field sports, especially in latter stages of game
- Eight of 13 participants had higher running times to exhaustion after consuming CurraNZ
- Those participants who increased time to exhaustion did so by on average 15%
- NZBC intake allowed for better maintenance of the fastest sprint time during LIST
- Participants tolerated higher heart rate values and ran for longer at higher intensity
- Particpants showed reduced slowing of the fastest sprints at exhaustive stages
