The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of a caffeine-containing
supplement on upper-and lower-body strength and muscular endurance as well as
anaerobic capabilities. Thirty-seven resistance-trained men (mean+/-SD, age: 21+/-2 years)
volunteered to participate in this study. On the first laboratory visit, the subjects performed 2
Wingate Anaerobic Tests (WAnTs) to determine peak power (PP) and mean power (MP), as
well as tests for 1 repetition maximum (1RM), dynamic constant external resistance strength …

Strength Cond Res 22 (5): 1654-1658, 2008-The purpose of the present study was to
examine the acute effects of a caffeine-containing supplement (SUPP) on one-repetition
maximum (1-RM) bench press strength and time to running exhaustion (TRE) at a velocity
that corresponded to 85% of the peak oxygen uptake (O 2 peak). The study used a double …
