NCT ID NCT06039358
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how a dose of caffeine (6mg per kg of body weight) affects the way healthy adults perform exercises like running, squatting, and jumping, both when fresh and when tired. Researchers measured angles, forces, and timing to see if caffeine changes movement technique. The goal is to understand if caffeine's performance boost comes with trade-offs, like increased injury risk.
