"Coffee is a popular source of caffeine, so this paper looked at the research surrounding its ergogenic benefits," said the study author Simon Higgins from University of Georgia in the US. The study was published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism.Higgins reviewed more than 600 articles and screened them for those that focused only on caffeinated-coffee conditions, measured the caffeine dose and measured an endurance performance.
Participants either cycled or ran after drinking coffee. They then exercised vigorously and the results were measured. In a majority of cases, endurance was noticeably improved after the use of coffee. Looking at the nine trials, Higgins found that between three and seven milligrams (mg) per kilogram of body weight of caffeine from coffee increased endurance performance by an average of 24 percent.
