Brief Summary:
This study evaluates the effects of orally ingested, commercially available, coffee (3 mg/kg of caffeine) on the excitability of human spinal motoneurons of the lower leg.
Detailed Description:
Recently, it has been shown that human spinal motoneurons do not simply act as a binary control system. Instead, they are regulated by intrinsic properties that can elicit lingering effects on the descending motoneuron. Caffeine, one of the world's most popular over-the-counter supplements, can potentially augment these characteristics of motoneurons. Using decomposition software and non-invasive, high-density surface electromyography, it is possible to extract the characteristics of these motoneurons. This project will utilize a double-blind, inactive-placebo controlled, crossover design study to examine and quantify the effects of caffeine on motoneuron excitability.
