Soccer is the most popular sport in the world and is performed by men and women with different levels of expertise. Several factors are associated to a good performance in soccer, including the duration and intensity of the effort, the nature of the stimulus, the level of physical training and the nutritional status of the individual. During the exercise is required that muscle glycogen stay at appropriate concentrations, because the depletion of their stores leads to muscle fatigue; Micronutrients are also important for ensuring a good performance in sport. The orange juice is a food known for carbohydrate content, high vitamin C content, and appreciable amounts of other essential nutrients, including carotenoids, folate and potassium; it is also a source of flavonoids hesperidin and narirutin, which have functional properties. In this context, it is believed that supplementation with orange juice in athletes may represent a source of energy, micronutrients and flavonoids, helpful to improve the nutritional status and consequently the physical performance. A research about the effects of orange juice supplementation, associated to the practice of soccer would be relevant to investigate the influence of the juice components on the diet adequacy, on metabolic mechanisms that may reflect on body composition and biochemical parameters associated to health status and physical performance of athletes.
