Although the
effect of caffeine on endurance performance is well documented, a recent study
by researchers from South Africa investigated the possible
mechanisms why. The researchers studied the effect of caffeine in two
triathlons held two weeks apart. The study was conducted with male
and female triathletes who trained an average of 12.8 hours per week. The
triathletes consumed caffeine 60 minutes before their triathlon and time
to completion data was measured.
