Summary
This study looks at whether the way you take caffeine—capsule, coffee, chewing gum, or mouth rinse—changes how much fat you burn during an hour of cycling. Ten healthy adults who exercise regularly will try each form and a placebo in random order. Researchers will measure fat oxidation, heart rate, and perceived effort to see which method works best.
