Exercise-Induced Rates of Fat Oxidation With and Without Ingestion of a Caffeine-Based Energy Drink — EDX  

Cognition Clinical Trial

Official title: A Crossover Study to Examine Exercise-Induced Rates of Fat Oxidation With and Without Ingestion of a Caffeine-Based Energy Drink

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate acute changes in rates of fat oxidation during exercise with and without the ingestion of a caffeine-based energy drink.

Clinical Trial Description

This study aims to investigate the impact of a caffeinated energy drink on cognitive function and exercise performance in healthy adults. The research will employ a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design involving 15 participants. Initial screening includes health assessments and completion of a health history questionnaire, as well as a VO2peak assessment. Participants will replicate their diet before every study visit. Subsequent visits involve baseline assessments, ingestion of either a placebo or a caffeinated energy drink, followed by cognitive tests and a cycling exercise bout at moderate intensity, followed by a exercise performance cycling time trial. Measurements, including heart rate, perceived exertion, blood samples, and expired gases, will be collected during and after exercise. The study will have two identical testing visits, separated by at least a week, with participants consuming different beverages to assess their impact on cognitive function and exercise performance. ;
