Caffeine (Goldstein et al., 2010; Grgic et al., 2018).

  • Improves exercise performance, including maximal endurance and high intensity exercise.

  • Enhances muscular strength and power, and cognitive performance.

  • May enhance glycogen resynthesis.

  • Minimal to no side effect with low to moderate doses (3 – 6 mg/kg) are consumed, which vary individual to individual. High doses (≥ 9 mg/ kg) can have negative side effects, including (but not limited to) nausea, restlessness, insomnia, and anxiety.
