Caffeine Mental Performance Meta-AnalysisIntroduction Female athletes remain underrepresented in caffeine-based performance research, and inconsistent menstrual cycle classification further limits generalization of the current evidence.1Tan ZS (2026)Caffeine and physical performance in female intermittent sport athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis considering menstrual cycle phase.
Caffeine Mental Performance Meta-AnalysisStudy quality was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale and Risk-of-Bias tool.1Tan ZS (2026)Caffeine and physical performance in female intermittent sport athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis considering menstrual cycle phase.
Caffeine Mental Performance Meta-AnalysisCaffeine was associated with improvements in agility (SMD = -0.62, 95% CI [-0.98 to -0.26], I 2 = 0%) and vertical jump (SMD = 0.37, 95% CI [0.05 to 0.69], I 2 = 0%) but not sprint performance (SMD = 0.03, 95% CI [-0.36 to 0.41], I 2 = 15.2%) with low heterogeneity across outcomes.1Tan ZS (2026)Caffeine and physical performance in female intermittent sport athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis considering menstrual cycle phase.
