No results posted yet for this study

Summary

15 healthy trained males will volunteer to participate in this study. there will be 2 treatments: Ketone esters supplementation and iso-caloric carbohydrate. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of ketone esters on cognitive function during exercise after induced mental fatigue

Conditions

  • Ketonemia
  • Mental Fatigue
  • Ketosis

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

mental fatiguing task

a 30-minute computerized Stroop test will be used to induce mental fatigue before exercise intervention

BEHAVIORAL

45 - minute simulated soccer game

an intermittent running protocol using intensities and speeds seen in soccer will be used to simulate the physiological demands of the sport

BEHAVIORAL

cognitive function

The Stroop test and a complex reaction time test will be used to assess cognitive function during exercise.
