Summary
This study looks at whether caffeine, rhodiola rosea, or a combination of both can improve explosive power, stability, and muscular endurance in male collegiate dancesport athletes performing cowboy dance. Forty-eight healthy men aged 18 to 23 will be randomly assigned to take a placebo, caffeine, rhodiola rosea, or both supplements while completing a four-week standardized training program. Researchers will measure kick angles, trunk stability, and kick success rates to see if these supplements provide a performance boost.
