Caffeine lets you have harder and longer workouts! |
|
| |
In this study, caffeine consumption was found to reduce a person’s RPE (rating of perceived exertion) by 6% and increase exercise performance by 11.2%. This study helps explain why athletes who consume caffeine have been found to outperform those who don’t on a consistent basis. |

Caffeine Enhances Anaerobic Performance In Highly Trained Athletes |
|
| |
In this study, several highly trained male athletes were tested in three different exercises (leg press, chest press and the Wingate test) 60 minutes after consuming a caffeinated supplement. The test results showed that those who ingested the caffeine supplement scored significantly higher in the total amount weight lifted for the chest press and higher peak power during the Wingate test over the placebo. |

In a second study, male rugby players were given a caffeine supplement 70 minutes before physical testing. The results showed that the athletes who ingested the caffeine showed significantly faster sprinting speeds, higher power levels during their first drives and increased passing accuracy over those who received the placebo. |

Enhancement of 2000-m rowing performance after Caffeine ingestion |
|
| |
|
|
| |
In a third study, competitive rowers were asked to perform three 2000 meter rowing tests one hour after ingesting caffeine or a placebo. The test results definitively proved that the rowers who ingested caffeine rowed faster and generated more power than those who ingested the placebo. |

Burn Fat and Build Muscle! |
|

A research study done by K.J Cureton compared a caffeinated carbohydrate/electrolyte and a carbohydrate/electrolyte drink with a placebo. The drinks were given to cyclists alternating between 15-minute moderate riding at 60 % - 75% VO2 max (maximum oxygen uptake) and 15-minute performance bursts for a total of 135 minutes.
At the end of the 135 minutes the caffeine group showed 15% greater strength than the carb/electrolyte group and 23% greater than the placebo group.
