Coffee as a performance and workout booster


Want to add an edge to your training sessions or performance? Don't snub the Starbucks!

Available information and research literature suggests that performance benefits can be seen with relatively moderate amounts (~3 mg.kg-1 body mass) of caffeine. Not only that, but these benefits occur over a wide variety of sports, such as endurance events, explosive movement sports (e.g., team sports), and sports involving sustained high-intensity activity lasting up to an hour like swimming and middle distance running. 

So before you workout next, if you need a boost, consider a java jolt!
