"Participants are provided with a carbohydrate mouth rinse for every 12.5% of the time trial that is completed (calculated based on the distance covered).~The sucrose solution will consist of 64g of sucrose dissolved in 1000 mL of water, with a bolus of 25 mL being used for each mouth rinse. Each mouth rinse solution will have 2mL of red food dye FD\&C Red No. 40 to ensure the same sensory response through appearance."
