Caffeine Improves Sprint Time in Simulated Freestyle Swimming Competition but Not the Vertical Jump in Female Swimmers.
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to investigate the effects of acute caffeine supplementation on vertical jump, balance, auditory reaction time, and swimming performance in moderately trained female swimmers.
Results Summary
The abstract suggests caffeine may enhance sports performance, including vertical jump, sprint, balance, agility, and freestyle swimming performance, but specific results for female swimmers are not detailed.
Population
Eight moderately trained female swimmers (age: 21.3 ± 1.4 years, height: 161.2 ± 7.1 cm, body mass: 56.3 ± 6.7 kg, BMI: 21.9 ± 1.3 kg/m²).

Caffeine (CAF) has been shown to be an effective ergogenic aid in enhancing sports performance, including vertical jump (VJ), sprint, balance, agility, and freestyle swimming performance (FSP). However, whether acute CAF supplementation improves FSP in moderately trained female swimmers has not been well documented. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of CAF intake on vertical jump, balance, auditory reaction time (ART), and swimming performance in female swimmers. In a double-blind, cross-over design, eight moderately trained female swimmers (age: 21.3 ± 1.4 years, height: 161.2 ± 7.1 cm, body mass: 56.3 ± 6.7 kg, body mass index (BMI): 21.9 ± 1.3 kg/m
