Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed 34 research papers to see if drinking caffeine (3-6 mg/kg) can boost performance in team sports, especially in activities like jumping, sprinting, and agility tests.
  • Results showed that caffeine helped improve activities like jump height, sprint speed, agility, total running distance, and the number of sprints during games, with all effects being statistically significant.
  • Overall, drinking a moderate amount of caffeine shortly before playing can have a small but meaningful positive impact on several key physical performance measures in team sports.]
