“…Participants stated that they were regular consumers of caffeine (no information regarding the amount was provided) in the study by Stuart and colleagues [38]. Higher ceiling levels of caffeine consumption were reported for participants in the study by Foskett and colleagues [39] at < 350 mg of caffeine per day and for participants in the study by Tucker and colleagues [34] at < 500 mg of caffeine per day.…”

Effects of Caffeine Supplementation on Performance in Ball Games

Although a large body of evidence exists documenting the ergogenic properties of caffeine, most studies have focused on endurance performance. However, findings from endurance sports cannot be generalized to performance in ball games where, apart from having a high level of endurance, successful athletic performances require a combination of physiological, technical and cognitive capabilities. The purpose of this review was to critically evaluate studies that have examined the effect of a single dose of caffeine in isolation on one or more of the following performance measures: total distance, sprint performance, agility, vertical jump performance and accuracy in ball games. Searches of three major databases resulted in 19 studies (invasion games: 13; net-barrier games: 6) that evaluated the acute effects of caffeine on human participants, provided the caffeine dose administered, and included a ball games specific task or simulated match. Improvements in sprint performance were observed in 8 of 10 studies (80%), and vertical jump in 7 of 8 studies (88%). Equivocal results were reported for distance covered, agility and accuracy. Minor side effects were reported in 4 of 19 studies reviewed. Pre-exercise caffeine ingestion between 3.0 and 6.0 mg/kg of body mass appears to be a safe ergogenic aid for athletes in ball games. However, the efficacy of caffeine varies depending on various factors, including, but not limited to, the nature of the game, physical status and caffeine habituation. More research is warranted to clarify the effects of caffeine on performance measures unique to ball games, such as agility and accuracy. It is essential that athletes, coaches and practitioners evaluate the risk-benefit ratio of caffeine ingestion strategies on an individual case-by-case basis.

“…A study using lower caffeine doses (80 mg) had shown that caffeine was not able to improve the serve accuracy of tennis players when subjected to sleep restriction (28) . In addition, Share, Sanders, and Kemp (30) accomplished a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controled design with seven elite male shooters who were submitted to 2 mg·kg Tucker, Hargreaves, Clarke, Dale, and Blackwell (38) investigated the effects of 3 mg·kg Although some studies with lower than 6 mg·kg -1 caffeine dosages do not show physical and motor improvement, the wide range of caffeine ingestion effects on physical and motor performance demonstrated in doses around 6 mg·kg -1 may be the major cause of its great consumption among athletes.

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify whether caffeine ingestion affects the precision of volleyball serves. Material and Methods: The study´s design was double-blind, crossover, and counterbalanced. Nineteen college volleyball players took part of the study. They performed two adapted volleyball matches on different days, separated by a 72 hours interval. Before the matches, they consumed randomly 6 mg·kg -1 of caffeine or placebo. After each volleyball match, a serving precision test with two sets of ten serves was performed. Results: The evaluation of each serve's mean (placebo or caffeine) as well as the sum of total points according to the serve's order and intervention were not statistically different. However, the caffeine intervention mean scores were significantly

“…Tucker and Cols. 6 has not found effects from caffeine ingestion in elite-level male basketball players when they completed a maximal-effort test on a treadmill and a vertical jump test, they had ingested caffeine (3mg/kg BM) or placebo. Another research determined effect derived from caffeine on match activities and development of fatigue during a soccer match; players ingested caffeine (6mg/kg BM) 7 .…”

“…Caffeine Dose: There are studies which uses different dose in order to get ergogenic effects from caffeine supplementation [2][3][4][5][6][11][12][13][14][15][16] . A dose between 3-6mg of caffeine per kilogram of BM seems to have benefits without negative side effects and therefore a medium dose of 4mg/kg of BM was used.…”

Introduction:The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of caffeine ingestion in soccer performance, particularly in the countermovement jump test (CMJ). Material and Methods:A total of 17 players from a U-19 amateur Spanish team participated in this pilot study. A double-blind placebo-controlled randomized experimental design was used in 2 different sessions (1.5 hour per session) separated by 1 week. CMJ was collected at the beginning and at the end of sessions; Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) was recorded. Players ingested caffeine or placebo at the beginning of session (minute 0 of session), providing a total of 4mg of caffeine or a placebo per kg of body mass. Side effects from caffeine and placebo ingestions were analyzed. The effect sizes (ES) were calculated using values for Cohen's and Quantitative differences were assessed qualitatively (QA). Results:The jump height with caffeine supplementation at the beginning of training was 37.03 (±3.87) cm and at the end was 39.35 (±4.05) cm, obtaining significant improvements (p<0.05; ES:0.56; QA:99/1/0). Significant differences on CMJ at the end of the training session between caffeine and placebo groups were observed (39.35 [±4.05] cm vs. 36.85 [±3.15] cm; p<0.05; ES:0.65; QA:0/1/99). Significant differences on RPE between groups were observed. A nonsignificant tendency to suffer more side effects with caffeine ingestion was obtained. Conclusions:This study shows how the ingestion of 4mg of caffeine per kg of body mass could be an ergogenic aid to improve soccer performance. However, further studies with bigger soccer players sample would be necessary to refute the present results.

Se siguió un diseño a doble ciego, placebo-control, aleatorizado en 2 entrenamientos (1,5 horas/sesión) separados por 1 semana. El CMJ se recogió al inicio y, al final de las sesiones, la tasa de esfuerzo percibido (RPE) fue recogida. Los jugadores tomaron cafeína o placebo al inicio del entrenamiento (minuto 0), proveyendo 4mg/kg de masa corporal de cafeína o placebo. Se analizaron los efectos secundarios provenientes de la cafeína y del placebo. Los tamaños de efecto (ES) se calcularon utilizando valores para Cohen y las diferencias cuantitativas se evaluaron cualitativamente (QA).Resultados: La altura del salto media cuando se ingirió cafeína fue 37,03 (±3,87) cm al inicio y 39,35 (±4,05) cm al final del entrenamiento, obteniendo una mejora significativa (p<0,05; ES:0,56; QA:99/1/0).
