Abstract
CAFFEINE AND ENERGY DRINKS ARE POPULAR SUPPLEMENTS THAT HAVE VARIABLE USES IN BOTH ATHLETIC AND NONATHLETIC POPULATIONS. EVIDENCE HAS BEEN RELATIVELY CONSISTENT IN SHOWING THE EFFICACY OF THESE "HIGH-ENERGY" COMPOUNDS IN ENHANCING ENDURANCE PERFORMANCE, BUT LESS IS UNDERSTOOD REGARDING ITS ERGOGENIC POTENTIAL IN STRENGTH/POWER ACTIVITIES. THIS REVIEW FOCUSES ON THE EFFICACY ON THESE PRODUCTS (CAFFEINE BY ITSELF OR IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER INGREDIENTS) ON STRENGTH/POWER PERFORMANCE AND REACTION TIME. IN ADDITION, DISCUSSION ON THE EFFICACY OF CAFFEINE DURING PROLONGED ACTIVITY AND ITS ROLE DURING TACTICAL PERFORMANCE IS ADDRESSED.
