The International Society for Sports Nutrition released a position stand on coffee and sports performance. The authors offer 8 conclusions. The authors discuss an array of topics:
1) the history of research on coffee related to exercise (e.g., defining a cup of coffee);
2) coffee absorption and transport;
3) mechanisms for the ergogenic effect of coffee;
4) effects of coffee on reaction time, single-bout ballistic and power performance;
5) effects of coffee on aerobic performance;
6) repeated bout (same day) power and endurance performance;
7) effect of coffee on training adaptations,
8) effects of coffee on variables related to body composition;
9) side effects of coffee use;
10) control issues in coffee research and practical application;
11) coffee and exercise recovery;
12) optimal protocols of coffee ingestion related to exercise;
13) interaction of coffee with other ergogenic aids;
14) coffee-nutrient interactions;
15) coffee and drug interactions.
