Overview

Examines physiological and perceptual responses in soccer players during fasting, indicating increased internal strain despite matched workloads.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate how Ramadan-type fasting affects physiological, neuromuscular, and perceptual responses during high-intensity exercise in soccer players.
  • Twenty male university-level soccer players completed two counterbalanced high-intensity sessions.
  • Exercise conditions were matched using 10-Hz GPS monitoring to ensure identical external load.
  • Physiological, neuromuscular, and perceptual responses were measured before and after exercise.
  • Fasting led to higher minute ventilation, heart rate, and perceived exertion compared to fed conditions.
  • Fasted athletes experienced lower carbon dioxide production and peak blood lactate concentration.
  • Significant reductions in countermovement jump height and power occurred, but without condition-related effects.
