Abstract
Paper Selection Leads to a Misleading Conclusion: Updated Evidence of Ice Slurry Ingestion on Endurance Performance
Highlights
In a paper published in European Journal of Sport Science in 2018, Choo, Nosaka, Peiffer, Ihsan, and Abbiss (2018) concluded that ice slurry ingestion had no clear effect (Hedges’ g, 0.2; 95% confidence interval, −0.07 to 0.46) on endurance performance
The methods of that paper were described in detail in the original article, “Cold fluid was prepared by mixing refrigerated fluid with ice cubes in a vacuum flask to bring the temperature to 2°C”
Mixing water with ice cubes is a common practice in sport science and in the field to reach cold fluid temperature
Summary
In a paper published in European Journal of Sport Science in 2018, Choo, Nosaka, Peiffer, Ihsan, and Abbiss (2018) concluded that ice slurry ingestion had no clear effect (Hedges’ g, 0.2; 95% confidence interval, −0.07 to 0.46) on endurance performance. I am not convinced of the validity of their literature selection and have great concern about what has been conveyed to those readers relying on science to guide their practice in the field
