Summary

Caffeine supplementation has been recognized such as an useful strategy for improving performance in intermittent sports, however caffeine ingestion in futsal has been barely studied. In this randomized placebo-controlled study, we investigated the effects of acute caffeine supplementation in improving neuromuscular performance and physical match activity in futsal players.

Detailed description

To date, no previous investigation has studied the effect of acute caffeine ingestion on futsal performance during futsal-specific testing and during a simulated match. Therefore, the aim of this investigation was to establish the effects of acute caffeine intake on futsal-specific tests (e.g. futsal kicking velocity) and match-play running performance in male futsal players.

Conditions

• Caffeine
• Placebo

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Caffeine	Gelatine capsule with caffeine (3 mg/kg body mass of caffeine) (Bulk Powders, London, United Kingdom). The capsule containing the treatment was ingested with 150 mL of water 60 minutes before the onset of the experiment to allow substance absorption.
