Study Goal

The researchers aimed to determine the effects of caffeine alone and in combination with creatine nitrate on exercise performance and cognitive function in resistance-trained athletes.

Results Summary

Caffeine, when co-ingested with creatine nitrate, significantly enhanced cognitive function, as evidenced by improved scores in the Stroop Word-Color Interference test. The abstract does not detail caffeine's standalone effects on exercise performance.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of creatine nitrate and caffeine alone and combined on exercise performance and cognitive function in resistance-trained athletes. In a double-blind, randomized crossover trial, twelve resistance-trained male athletes were supplemented with 7 days of creatine nitrate (5 g/day), caffeine (400 mg/day), and a combination of creatine nitrate and caffeine. The study involved twelve resistance-trained male athletes who initially provided a blood sample for comprehensive safety analysis, including tests for key enzymes and a lipid profile, and then performed standardized resistance exercises-bench and leg press at 70% 1RM-and a Wingate anaerobic power test. Cognitive function and cardiovascular responses were also examined forty-five minutes after supplementation. Creatine nitrate and caffeine that were co-ingested significantly enhanced cognitive function, as indicated by improved scores in the Stroop Word-Color Interference test (
