Summary

This study gives 100 professional male football players a daily mix of taurine, caffeine, and phosphatidylserine (or a placebo) for 14 days. Researchers measure sprint speed, cognitive function, fatigue, recovery, and sleep before and after. The goal is to see if the supplement helps players perform better and recover faster.
