N2 - Objectives
This study investigated the influence of carbohydrate supplementation on skill performance throughout exercise that replicates soccer match-play.
Design
Experimentation was conducted in a randomised, double-blind and cross-over study design.
Methods
After familiarization, 15 professional academy soccer players completed a soccer match simulation incorporating passing, dribbling and shooting on two separate occasions. Participants received a 6% carbohydrate–electrolyte solution (CHO) or electrolyte solution (PL). Precision, success rate, ball speed and an overall index (speed-precision-success; SPS) were determined for all skills. Blood samples were taken at rest, immediately before exercise, every 15min during exercise (first half: 15, 30 and 45min; second half: 60, 75 and 90min), and 10min into the half time (half-time).
Results
Carbohydrate supplementation influenced shooting (time×treatment interaction: p
