7g of BCAA ingested 1 hour prior to a treadmill test (soccer practise simulation) noted that while there were no changes on any measured parameter, that BCAA supplementation was able to preserve cognition in the later stretches of the exercise. The authors hypothesized this was secondary to the fatigue reducing effect, and that this may be useful in sports requiring reaction time and decision making.
