Brief Summary
To assess the efficacy of a hydrothermally modified starch supplement (Superstarch made byGeneration UCAN) vs isoenergetic placebo (glucose) on exercise performance, execution of specific soccer skills, and on cognitive function during and following a simulated soccer game. Secondary: To compare fat oxidation and carbohydrate oxidation (based on RER data) during the game with Generation UCAN vs isoenergetic placebo (glucose).
