Abstract in brief

  • The study examined how habitual caffeine intake impacts exercise performance and biological responses during a simulated soccer game, finding that caffeine generally improved performance indicators like time to exhaustion, jump height, and cardiovascular measures regardless of whether athletes were high or low caffeine consumers.
  • Caffeine ingestion led to increased levels of certain biological responses such as plasma glucose, lactate, and blood pressure, while reducing perceived exertion, with no significant differences between high and low caffeine users.
  • These results suggest that caffeine's ergogenic effects are similar for both high and low habitual consumers, and it significantly enhances performance during prolonged, intermittent exercise like a soccer match.

Maybe you've been told that because of your genetics, you shouldn't consume caffeine? New research has indicated that is probably not the reason if you do not tolerate caffeine well. https://t.co/QU39cxYs0F
