5 g taken four times a day (20 g/day) for 6 days was able to improve intermittent sprint performance (a 50-m sprint conducted six times with a 2-minute break in between). The decrease in speed on the third sprint was reduced from 5% to 2%, but was nonsignifiant after the sixth sprint. Biochemical parameters (heart rate, lactate, creatinine) were unaltered.
