The effect of caffeine on anaerobic athletic performance
Summary:
Caffeine is a common supplement to the daily routine of the individual as well as the athlete. In sport, caffeine is classified as an ergogenic supplement. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of caffeine, 3mg / kg body weight (BW), peak anaerobic power (Peak Power Watt), PP / kg BW, and fatigue index% (Power drop%). The present study involved 4 amateur soccer players (4-6 workouts per week), 24 ± 2.5 years old, weighing 75.75 ± 7.27 kg.
The evaluation was performed with the Wingate 30 sec test and 7.5% BF of the trainee. The test was preceded by a three-minute warm-up on the cyclometer at 60 RPM prior to the test and 2 peak attempts were performed in the interval of 4–8 ° to accustom to fast speed. The tests for each athlete were two and were performed on different days with a distance of at least 7 days.Tests were randomized and double-blinded by testers and researchers. Each visit was randomly administered with a supplement containing either caffeine, or placebo 60 minutes before the test. The present work showed that caffeine administration had no effect on maximal anaerobic power or on the anaerobic capacity of athletes.
