What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this study is to determine whether consuming a commercially available exogenous ketone supplement (KetoneIQ®) affects cognition, specifically marksmanship, under physical stress (i.e., exhaustive exercise).

The main questions we seek to answer are:

* Does the supplement save cognitive performance under stress compared to a placebo?

* Does the supplement improve marksmanship under stress compared to a placebo?
