Interventions/Control_1

In the high-carbohydrate intake group (High-CHO group), participants will consume 10 g of carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight per day for three days before the match. Total energy intake will be maintained within the estimated required range (45-55 kcal/kg/day), and protein intake will be standardized at 1.5-1.8 g/kg/day. If the increased carbohydrate intake results in excessive total energy intake, fat intake will be adjusted to prevent substantial imbalance in total energy and macronutrient composition. To minimize gastrointestinal symptoms, carbohydrate sources will mainly consist of easily digestible foods such as rice, noodles, and bread, and meal timing or portion size will be modified as necessary.

Interventions/Control_2

In the control diet group (Control group), participants will consume 5 g of carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight per day for three days before the match. Total energy intake will be maintained within the estimated required range (45-55 kcal/kg/day), and protein intake will be adjusted to achieve 1.5-1.8 g/kg/day. Any deficit or excess in total energy resulting from the lower carbohydrate intake will be compensated by adjusting fat intake, ensuring that the overall energy intake and macronutrient balance do not become substantially imbalanced.
