Abstract in brief

  • Caffeine consumed in a performance bar enhances both physical endurance and cognitive performance during intense cycling exercise, with participants showing faster reaction times and longer exercise durations after caffeine intake compared to non-caffeine and placebo conditions.
  • The study found that caffeine improved complex cognitive tasks and extended time to exhaustion without affecting perceived exertion, heart rate, or exercise intensity, indicating that its effects are specific to performance and cognition rather than overall exertion levels.
  • These findings suggest that caffeine can be especially beneficial for sports that rely heavily on concentration and mental alertness during prolonged physical activity.]
