Summary

This study looked at how people's usual caffeine intake affects the extra boost they get from coffee before exercise. Sixty-nine healthy, active adults did strength, sprint, and thinking tests after drinking decaf or different doses of caffeinated coffee. The results showed that caffeine helped muscle endurance more in people who don't drink much caffeine daily, but sprint and thinking performance were not affected by habit.
