This quantitative research study examines an unprecedented relationship between the use of carbohydrate supplementation and muscular power. The goal of the research is to decipher whether carbohydrate supplementation will have a positive, negative, or neutral effect on the muscular power of highschool varsity athletes. An experiment was done proportionate with the research goal that included the exercises: barbell bench press, barbell squat, and 40-yard dash. The high school athletes were given 20 fluid ounces of orange juice as the source of carbohydrates in order to test the differences in weight with, and without carbohydrate administration.
