Our proposed study is a 5-d double-blind randomised cross-over trial, seeking to simulate a training identification camp in competitive adolescent soccer players The purpose of the proposed study is to investigate whether increased protein consumption by Greek yogurt, compared to an isoenergetic carbohydrate (CHO) control supplement, consumed immediately following exercise training, prior to sleep and between breakfast and lunch, for a week during an intense training period (high volume, high intensity) will: * Attenuate the pro-inflammatory response (cytokines, acute phase proteins) * Reduced the severity of muscle damage and impairment (creatine kinase) * Maintain performance Secondary outcome measures: \- Increase bone turnover (in favour of formation)
