Masters Theses, 2010-2019
Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the ergogenic response to different caffeine doses of 3 mg/kg and 6 mg/kg consumed by trained cyclists 1 hour prior to a 40 kilometer cycling time trial. It was hypothesized that there would not be a difference in time trial performance following caffeine supplementation of a 3 mg/kg dose as compared to a 6 mg/kg dose. Sixteen male subjects, age 18-40, were initially assessed via a VO2max test on an indoor cycle trainer. Subjects then reported to the lab on 4 separate occasions following a 10 hour fast and a 24 …
