A U-shaped dose–response of carbohydrate–protein supplementation on rowing performance
For prolonged rowing, a lower dose of the CHO-PRO was more effective than higher doses, revealing a non-linear performance response. This non-linear response was characterized by significant performance decrements at several higher intake levels. These findings underscore the importance of dose optimization. Exceeding a certain intake threshold may impair endurance performance.
