Effect of caffeine on performance test of aerobic capacity
Abstract
Caffeine is one of the substances that attract more attention to the study of its ergogenic effects. However, the literature presents conflicting results regarding these effects. Thus, the aimof this study was evaluatedthe ergogenic effect of caffeine ina maximum aerobic test of 3,200 meters. The sample consisted of 21 male athletes, with a mean age of 17.29±0.63 years, height of 174.43±5.57 cm, body mass of 66.43±6.32 kg and percentage of fat 10.87±2.70, all belonging to the Clube Sportivo Sergipe. For this, the study was conducted in a double-blindmanner with three interventions. The 1st consisted of anthropometric evaluations and reports on the study design. In the second intervention, 48 hours after, application of the maximum test of 3,200 meters, one hour after ingestion of 5 mg.kg-1of caffeine or placebo. At the 3rd and last moment, 72 hours after the 2nd, application of a new maximum test of 3200 meters with intake of caffeine or placebo. An increase in the maximum oxygen consumption of 4.96% of the caffeine group was verified in relation to the placebo. Likewise, a reduction in the average time of execution of the test was observed in 20 of the 21 athletes in the order of 3.73% or 31.6 ± 12.26 seconds. In addition, the caffeine group reported a less subjective sensation to the effort. The use of caffeine, after one week of abstinence, produces a significant ergogenic effect on the performance of athletes in a maximum test of 3,200 meters.
