Santa Cruz-Rn, 2016. 30p.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/34748The aim of this study was verify the relation between the administration of the mouth rinse or ingestion of carbohydrate solutions and the concentrated attention. The survey was given to 79 higher education students of Faculty of Health Sciences Trairi on the Santa Cruz on Rio Grande do Norte, with lasting, about, 1 hour and 30 minutes. To assess the concentrated attention from of neural performance, were aplication of two concentrated attention tests, after the administration of the mouth rinse or ingestion of carbohydrate (maltodextrin in 6% and sucralose for placebo). How result, was observed that there was significative difference for the neural performance for both for mouth rinse of carbohydrate solution (p=0,0066) as the mouth rinse of placebo solution (p=0,0106), without change in the glycemic response. We suggest that the mouth rinse of carbohydrate solution and placebo solution activated the neural system working on improving of the concentrated attention in a short time. Thus demonstrating the importance of more study that treat not only of the isolated carbohydrate, but it also of the sweetners action in mouth rinse of solutions.embargoedAccessCarboidratoEdulcoranteDesempenhoSistema NeuralAtençãobachelorThesisNutrição
