Abstract
PURPOSE: To investigate the influence of torque factor and sprint duration on the effects of caffeine on sprint cycling performance. METHODS: Using a counterbalanced, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, 13 men completed 9 trials. In trial 1, participants completed a series of 6-s sprints at increasing torque factors to determine the torque factor, for each individual, that elicited the highest (T RESULTS: There was a significant effect of torque factor on PPO, with higher values at T CONCLUSION: The results of this study show that when torque factor and sprint duration are optimized, to allow participants to express their highest PPO, there is a clear effect of caffeine on sprinting performance.
