Influence of Coffeeberry Ingestion on Soccer Skill Performance

March 23, 2022 updated by: PepsiCo Global R&D

Influence of Coffeeberry Extract on Soccer Specific Skill Performance After Rest, During Simulated Soccer Match Play, and Following Fatiguing Exercise in Academy Football Players

The study of soccer skill performance has 3 objectives. Objective 1 is to compare effects of coffeeberry (300mg) and placebo ingestion on dribbling speed and precision and passing and shooting speed and accuracy compared to placebo. 30 subjects will be assessed before dosing, after a 1 hr resting absorption period, and after simulated soccer match play. Of these 30, 20 subjects will proceed to Objective 2 (45 minutes of intense simulated soccer match play) and Objective 3 (repeated sprint activity continued until volitional fatigue).

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.
