Summary

This study looked at how different doses of caffeine affect physical and cognitive performance in 20 female handball players. Each player took a placebo, a low dose (3 mg/kg), or a moderate dose (6 mg/kg) of caffeine before testing. The goal was to see if caffeine improves running, reaction time, and throwing speed. Results could help athletes choose the right dose for better game performance.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help female handball players and coaches decide the best caffeine dose to boost both physical and mental performance during games.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 20 participants. Results may not apply to all athletes or sports, and caffeine can cause side effects like jitters or sleep problems.
