Summary
This study tests whether a daily supplement called S-Acetyl Glutathione helps highly trained soccer players recover muscle function and reduce inflammation after a 90-minute match. Twenty elite players take either 200 mg, 500 mg, or a placebo for 11 days. Researchers measure muscle damage markers, strength, and sprint performance at 24, 48, and 72 hours after the game.
