Caffeine is a well-researched stimulant that can enhance athletic performance.Benefits include:
- Increased alertness and focus.
- Reduced perception of effort.
- Improved endurance performance.
- Enhanced strength and power in some cases.
However, excessive use can lead to jitters, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and tolerance. Optimal dose is often 3-6mg per kg of body weight, consumed 30-60 minutes before training. Be mindful of timing, especially later in the day.
