- Conditions
- Caffeine and Resistance Training
- Interventions
- Dietary Supplement: Caffeine plus Resistance trainingOther: Placebo + Resistance training
- Registration Number
- NCT06610136
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Alcala
- Brief Summary
Introduction: Several studies have evaluated and confirmed the ergogenic effect of acute caffeine intake on sports performance, specifically on strength and power performance. However, little is known about the prolonged effect of this supplement on neuromuscular adaptations to strength training.
Introduction: Several studies have evaluated and confirmed the ergogenic effect of acute caffeine intake on sports performance, specifically on strength and power performance. However, little is known about the prolonged effects of this supplement on neuromuscular adaptations to strength training.
Objectives: The present study aims to analyze the effects of acute and chronic caffeine intake on neuromuscular adaptations to strength training, according to sex (men vs. women) and type of exercise (bench press vs. squat), as well as on fatigue resistance during repeated sprints, fatigue perception, mood state, reaction time, diet, and potential side effects.

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Through study completion, an average of 12 weeks Kcal at rest using a metabolic chart.
Maximal Fat Oxidation Rate (MFO) Through study completion, an average of 12 weeks g/min using a metabolic chart.
Fat mass Through study completion, an average of 12 weeks Using electrical bioimpedance (kg and % of body mass)
Fat-free mass Through study completion, an average of 12 weeks Using electrical bioimpedance (kg and % of body mass)
Physical activity (METs-min/wk) Through study completion, an average of 12 weeks Using IPAQ

Mood state Through study completion, an average of 12 weeks Mood. Participants graded a set of 29 items related to the mood on a Likert scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely) in reply to the question;How do you feel at this moment?; to assess six scales: tension, depression, anger, vigor, fatigue and confusion.
Adverse effects Through study completion, an average of 12 weeks Adverse effects. perception of power, endurance, energy and exertion, as well as heart, muscular and gastrointestinal discomfort.
