Abstract
Caffeine and energy drinks are popular supplements that have variable uses in both athletic and nonathletic populations. Evidence has been relatively consistent in showing the efficacy of these "high-energy" compounds in enhancing endurance performance, but less is understood regarding its ergogenic potential in strength/power activities. This review focuses on the efficacy on these products (caffeine by itself or in combination with other ingredients) on strength/power performance and reaction time. In addition, discussion on the efficacy of caffeine during prolonged activity and its role during tactical performance is addressed. Verf.-Referat
