Forty young (age = 21.5 ± 1.7 years) male players were randomly assigned into five groups eight subjects including either L-CIT (6 g daily), Sb (0.3 g·kg-1 L-CIT+Sb, placebo (PL), or an active control group (CON). The engaged in SSIT sessions, consisting three sets ten repetitions five-second all-out sprints, times per week four weeks.
