@AlexMcDougallMD @nntaleb I dug into this study to try to find some issues with it as the best way to accept something is to be skeptical.

i) The surrogate variable for vo2 max is METs of treadmill performance.
ii) MET performance also correlated with lower BMI a possible confounder.

Indeed, it reminds me of the close link between memory and perception. That our visual cortex routes through our memory centres BEFORE perception centres. (faster recognition this way)

@eat2succeed Pre-match meal and fluids 3-4 hours before kick-off, maybe caffeine 1 hour before kick-off, then warm-up (some water if a warm day) and finally about 30 g carb (gel or drink) 5-10 minutes before kick-off
