Table 1.

Absolute and standardized differences (effect size) between trials for sprint measures during the RSA and LIST tests

  Absolute difference Effect size Percentage difference (90% confidence intervals) Practical interpretation
RSA average sprint time (s)
0.016 (↑)
0.09
0.5 (± 3.2)
Unclear
RSA fastest sprint time (s)
0.018 (↑)
0.10
0.8 (± 3.7)
Unclear
LIST average sprint time (s) 0.022 (↓) 0.10 0.3 (± 2.4) Unclear

Percentage change with 90% confidence intervals and practical interpretations of magnitude-based inferences are also shown.

Note: Absolute differences are differences in mean. Upward (↑) and downward (↓) arrows represent whether the absolute difference is an improvement or decrement in performance when mouth rinsing CHO. Practical interpretations were considered unclear if 90% confidence intervals overlapped the smallest worthwhile change (0.8%).
