Coffee boost depends on your daily habit, study finds
NCT ID NCT07474753
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested how different amounts of caffeine from coffee affect muscle endurance, sprinting, and thinking in 69 physically active men and women. Participants were grouped by their usual daily caffeine intake (low, moderate, or high). They performed exercises and cognitive tests after drinking decaf or caffeinated coffee with varying doses. The goal was to see if a person's habitual caffeine use changes how well caffeine boosts performance.
