[apologies for the copious include]

Having recently started working out, I can say that a few minutes or even
seconds of rest can make up for a lot of fatigue. You really need much better
controls than that to rule out fatigue and a placebo effect. I think I'll
try it next time I work out & report the results. How much sugar should I use?
Do you do anything to rule out the possibility that the body is merely
preparing for food & redistributing blood to the internal organs?  Maybe I
should try the test with dextrose and other "healthy" sugars as well.
