Brief Summary:
Caffeine is widely used by rugby players for its performance-enhancing effects The main questions it aims to answer are 1 the impact of caffeine supplementation on various performance metrics including distance covered at different speeds acceleration deceleration collisions and repeated high-intensity efforts and 2 reactive agility across four matches over two consecutive days in collegiate male rugby sevens playersA position-matched double-blind randomized crossover design was employed with six male collegiate rugby players mean height 178 009 m mean weight 813 92 kg participating in two trials Each trial consisted of a two-day tournament with two matches per day Movement was monitored using global positioning system units
Detailed Description:
This study employed a position-matched double-blind randomized crossover design Pairs of participants with similar playing positions specifically forwards or backsscrum halves were randomly assigned to either the caffeine or placebo trial Each trial comprised a two-day rugby sevens tournament with participants playing two matches per day Following a 13-day washout period participants switched to the alternate trial Both the participants and the research personnel were blinded to the supplementation condition throughout the study period with the assignment of supplements disclosed to research personnel only after all data analyses were completed
