Comparison of a sports-hydration drink containing high amylose starch with usual hydration practice in Australian rules footballers during intense summer training.

Hematocrit was non-significantly lower at each of the three individual assessment points for Intervention compared to Control arms (Δ = − 0.52 ± 0.54; p = 0.34 for pre-training, Δ = − 0.82 ± 0.14; p = 0.14 for post training and Δ = − 0.99 ± 0.56; p = 0.08 for recovery; mixed effects model comparing arms at each time point) although the difference was almost significant at the final measurement.
