Keywords

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.
