Caffeine and Performance

I’ve often heard people debating about caffeine’s potential to improve one’s performance in sports, although caffeine’s ability as a performance enchancer has been proved by scientific tests. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has set the limit of 12 micrograms per milliliter in an urine sample.

When concerning sport performance caffeine is most potent when used as an endurance enchancer. Caffeine slows down the exertion of glycogen, which result in energy sources lasting longer.

Caffeine also stimulates one’s central nervous system, thus improving performance in settings where one needs quick reactions and fast changing body movements. Not to mention the improved mental alertness and reduced feeling of tiredness.

However, when using caffeine one must be aware of its diuretic capabilities. Drinking fairly large amounts non-caffeinated beverages, such as plain water, is recommended before, after, and if possible during the exercise.
