“…During the Wingate test, cycling power was obtained with a frequency of 1 Hz and the peak and mean cycling power (in W/kg) obtained during the test were recorded as previously described . In addition, peak and minimum cycling power were used to calculate the Wingate fatigue index (%) as previously suggested . One minute after the end of the test, a blood sample was obtained from a fingertip to analyse blood lactate concentration (Lactate Pro 2, Arkay, Japan, in mmol/L).…”

“…Despite the initial controversy on this topic, the effectiveness of acute caffeine ingestion to improve peak and mean cycling power in the Wingate anaerobic performance test has been well established by recent investigations and meta‐analytic data . However, evidence also suggests that doses <3 mg of caffeine/kg of body mass or the use of coffee as the form caffeine administration might be less effective than the use of 3–9 mg/kg via pure anhydrous caffeine or caffeinated energy drinks .…”

“…Caffeine ergogenicity for the Wingate test might persist with daily ingestion of 3 mg/kg of caffeine for 15–18 days; however, the magnitude of its ergogenic effect is higher the first day of ingestion, suggesting tolerance to this substance . Lastly, caffeine might be used to improve both upper and lower body Wingate performance, which suggests that the effect of caffeine to enhance anaerobic performance is independent of the muscle mass involved in the exercise. All this previous information has led to the current notion that the acute ingestion of a moderate dose of caffeine can produce an increase in Wingate performance and this outcome has been used to establish the ergogenicity of caffeine for anaerobic exercise routines.…”

Aims In male athletes, caffeine is considered an ergogenic aid to increase anaerobic performance during the Wingate anaerobic test (WANT). However, information about the effect of caffeine on WANT performance in female athletes is contradictory. Furthermore, it is unknown whether the ergogenicity of caffeine is present during all the phases of the menstrual cycle. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of caffeine intake on WANT performance during 3 phases of the menstrual cycle. Methods Thirteen well‐trained eumenorrhoeic triathletes participated in a double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, cross‐over experimental trial. On 2 different days in each phase, and in randomized order, participants ingested caffeine (3 mg kg−1) or a placebo (cellulose). The menstrual cycle phases were individually characterized as follows: (i) early follicular; (ii) preovulatory; and (iii) midluteal. In each trial, participants performed a 15‐s adapted version of the WANT. Results In comparison to the placebo, caffeine increased peak power during the WANT in the early follicular (8.6 ± 0.8 vs 8.9 ± 0.9 W/kg, P = .04; effect size [d] = 0.45), preovulatory (8.6 ± 0.9 vs 8.9 ± 0.9 W/kg, P = .04; d = 0.23) and mid‐luteal phases (8.6 ± 0.8 vs 8.9 ± 0.9 W/kg, P < .01; d = 0.52). Conclusion The ergogenic effect of caffeine on WANT peak cycling power was of a similar magnitude in the follicular, preovulatory, and mid‐luteal phases. These results suggest that caffeine increases performance in the 15‐s Wingate test in women athletes and it might be considered an ergogenic aid to increase anaerobic performance in eumenorrhoeic women during their menstrual cycle.

Background: Caffeine is often used as a stimulant during fatigue, but the standard of characteristic physiological indicators of the effect of caffeine on neuromuscular fatigue has not been unified. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to summarize current experimental findings on the effects of caffeine on physiological indexes before and after neuromuscular fatigue, identify some characteristic neuromuscular physiological indexes to assess the potential effects of caffeine. Methods:The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses are followed. We systematically searched PubMed, Google academic, and Web of Science for randomized controlled trials. We searched for studies on caffeine's (i) effects on neuromuscular fatigue and (ii) the influence of physiological indexes changes. Metaanalysis was performed for standardized mean differences (SMD) between caffeine and placebo trials in individual studies. Results:The meta-analysis indicated that caffeine significantly improves voluntary activation (VA) (
