following each test, and every minute for three minutes thereafter. Heart rate was<br />
monitored throughout all tests.<br />
rEsuLTs: A repeated measures ANOVA was conducted to determine if time until<br />
exhaustion increased due to the consumption of caffeine before exercise. No significant<br />
difference in the time to exhaustion was observed when compared to the placebo<br />
(caffeine time = 208.0±77.1 seconds, placebo time = 154.9±44.1 seconds).<br />
CONCLusION: These results suggest that caffeine does not have an effect on time to<br />
exhaustion following submaximal running.<br />
Key Words: caffeine, time to exhaustion.<br />

Athletes consume caffeine supplements (CAF) in hopes of improving endurance<br />
performance, strength performance, and a reducing RPE. Caffeine is typically dosed<br />
on a per kg BW basis before or during exercise in a research setting and usually in a<br />
fasted state. It is likely that in a real world scenario caffeinated products are typically<br />
ingested by competitive and recreational athletes per given serving size or volume,<br />
regardless of BW. Caffeine is known to be a central nervous system stimulant. It is not<br />
known, however, if CAF would affect a marker of central fatigue following endurance<br />
exercise.<br />
PurPOsE: To compare auditory response time (RT), HR, RPE, metabolic, and power<br />
output (PO) responses between the ingestion of a commercially available CAF product<br />
and a flavored, non-caloric placebo (PL) during endurance cycling.<br />
METhOds: Fourteen subjects completed a 120 min work bout which was divided<br />
into 8x15 min intervals (13 min at 70% VO2max, 2 min at 90% VO2max), and ended<br />
with a 6 min PO performance task. Caffeine was ingested at a dose of 256 mg caffeine/<br />
hr; 200 mL/hr of plain water was co-ingested with CAF and PL. Blood glucose, HR,<br />
RPE, RER, and RT were measured throughout the 120 min exercise. The PO task<br />
required subjects to cycle at their highest sustainable power output for 6 min. Cycling<br />
resistance was set at 5% BW. The CAF and PL treatments were administered in a<br />
double blind, randomly assigned protocol. All subjects exercised at 3 hrs post prandial.<br />
Data are listed as mean (+ SD).<br />
rEsuLTs: No statistical differences between treatments were observed for mean PO<br />
(p=.08, CAF: 290 +57, PL: 282 +63 W), RT (p=.06, CAF: 0.232 +.06, PL: 0.226 +.04<br />
sec), HR (CAF: 143.1 + 15.6, PL: 141.0 + 14.5 bpm), RPE (CAF: 13.5 + 1.2, PL: 13.8<br />
+ 1.9), and RER (CAF: .87 +.04, PL: .86 +.04), and BG (CAF: 4.9 +.6, PL: 4.7 +.8<br />
mM/L).<br />
CONCLusION: Ingestion of a moderate dose of CAF (~6.8 mg/kg BW) did not result<br />
in significant improvements in RT and PO when evaluated against a non-caloric PL.<br />
Additionally, CAF ingestion did not change substrate utilization, as measured by BG and<br />
RER, during exercise. These results indicate that the CAF formula used in this study has<br />
minimal influence on physiological function and performance under the given conditions.<br />

The Influence Of Carbohydrate, Protein, and Caffeine On<br />
Power Output and response Time<br />

(No relationships reported)<br />
Caffeine has been reported to confer numerous benefits such as improved endurance<br />
and high intensity performances, reaction time and fat metabolism, and reduced RPE.<br />
The ingestion of CHO generally leads to improved endurance and high intensity<br />
performances while markers of central fatigue are mitigated with the feeding. There<br />
has been interest if combining CHO and caffeine would have a synergistic effect<br />
on response time and performance as the CHO would aid in physical performance<br />
while the caffeine would potentially improve markers of central fatigue. Purpose. To<br />
compare auditory response time (RT), power output (PO), and metabolic responses<br />
between a commercially available CHO + PRO + caffeine sports gel (GEL) and a<br />
caffeine supplement (CAF) during endurance cycling. Methods. 14 cyclists completed<br />
two cycling trials by ingesting GEL (22.5g CHO/hr, 3.75g PRO/hr, 188 mg caffeine/<br />
hr) or CAF (256 mg caffeine/hr) along with 200 mL/hr of water during the 2 hr<br />
exercise. Auditory RT was assessed by averaging stop switch times from10 beeps.<br />
Exercise was divided into 8x15 min intervals of 13 min at 70% VO2max and 2 min<br />
at 90% VO2max. Blood glucose (BG), RT, HR, RPE, and RER were also collected<br />
during the test. After the 2 hr ride, riders completed a 6 min cycling test where they<br />
attempted maintain as great of PO as possible at a resistance of 5% BW. Significance<br />
was set at p < 0.05. All data are listed as mean (+SD). Results. The GEL resulted in<br />
statistically greater mean PO (309.1 +/- 60 W vs. 290.2 +/- 57 W); RT (0.219 +/- .049<br />
sec vs. 0.232 +/- .060 sec); BG (5.5 +/- 0.8 mM/L vs. 4.9 +/- 0.7 mM/L), and lower<br />
HR (138.5 +/- 16.0 bpm vs. 143.1 +/- 15.6 bpm) and RPE (13.0 +/- 1.7 vs. 13.5 +/-<br />
1.2) than the CAF treatment. Conclusions. Co-ingestion of CHO, PRO and caffeine<br />

significantly improved RT and PO (by 5.7% and by 6.5%, respectively) compared to<br />
CAF even though the caffeine dose was 27% lower with GEL than CAF. The present<br />
study mimicked real life conditions by having subjects fed prior to exercise, providing<br />
doses that represented what may occur in a ‘real world’ setting, and by measuring<br />
performance by a muscular PO test and a measure that may be indicative of central<br />
fatigue. These results demonstrate the synergistic effects of CHO, PRO, and caffeine<br />
and the performance benefits to athletes. Supported by a grant from PacificHealth<br />

Shifting sedentary behavior (SedB) to light intensity physical activity (LPA) by<br />
introducing short bouts (SB) into daily routine is expected to contribute to higher<br />
PA energy expenditure (PAEE). If caffeine (Caf) intake plays a role in increasing the<br />
frequency of SB during free-living conditions is unknown. Purposes: The aim of this<br />
study was twofold: i) to determine the impact of a moderate dose of Caf on daily<br />
number of SB of at least 1 up to 5 min of either LPA or moderate-to-vigorous PA<br />
(MVPA) and PAEE; ii) to analyze the association between SB and PAEE under both<br />
conditions.<br />
METhOds: Using a double-blind crossover trial (ClinicalTrials.<br />
govID;NCT01477294) with two conditions (4-day each with 3-day washout) randomly<br />
ordered as Caf (5mg/kg/day) and placebo (Plc) (malt-dextrin) administered twice a<br />
day (2.5mg/kg), a total of 21 active males, low caffeine users (
