TI  - Acute Effects of Brief Mindfulness Intervention Coupled with Carbohydrate 
      Ingestion to Re-Energize Soccer Players: A Randomized Crossover Trial.

AB  - Background: This field experiment investigated the acute effects of brief 
      mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) coupled with carbohydrate (CHO) intake on 
      players' recovery from half-time break in a simulated soccer competition. 
      Methods: In a single-blinded randomized crossover experiment, 14 male players 
      received 3 treatments (Control: non-carbohydrate solution + travelling 
      introduction audio; CHO: CHO-electrolyte solution + travelling introduction 
      audio; and CHO_M: CHO-electrolyte solution + MBI) during simulated half-time 
      breaks. Vertical jump, sprint performance, mindfulness level, rate of perceived 
      exertion, muscle pain, mental fatigue, blood glucose, and lactate were measured 
      immediately before, during, and after the exercise. Results: (1) MBI 
      significantly increased participants' mindfulness level (Control vs. CHO_M, p < 
      0.01; CHO vs. CHO_M, p < 0.01) and decreased mental fatigue for CHO_M condition 
      (pre vs. post, p < 0.01); (2) participants in the CHO_M condition performed 
      better in the repeated sprint tests than in the Control and CHO condition 
      (Control vs. CHO_M, p = 0.02; CHO vs. CHO_M, p = 0.02). Conclusion: Findings of 
      this study provide preliminary evidence of the positive effect of MBI coupled 
      with CHO ingestion on athletes' recovery from fatigue in the early stage of the 
      second half of a game.
