Abstract
Articles were extracted from PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases. Searches were limited to the time range of January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2017. An 8-point inclusion criteria was applied to titles and abstracts of extracted articles, and the quality of articles was assessed using the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Evidence Analysis Manual. A total of 169 articles were found and 15 were examined after applying inclusion criteria. Seven articles were included in the study based on quality assessment. The common outcome measures to evaluate endurance performance of the participants included Ratings of Perceived Exertion (RPE), pleasure ratings, feelings of fatigue, and exercise performance. All studies reported improvement in at least one measure of endurance exercise when caffeine was consumed. Though further research is needed, the evidence supports caffeine consumption prior to exercise as an effective strategy to improve several aspects of endurance performance.
