topicCaffeine Recovery Randomized Trial
claimFrom baseline, plasma caffeine concentration remained unchanged with PLA throughout SS, but was elevated by CB immediately prior to, and at 10, 20 and 30 mins of SS (interaction < 0.001; all timepoints increased from baseline, and greater than PLA; post hoc < 0.001).

claimHowever, plasma caffeine further increased from 0 to 4 h of recovery with CB (interaction < 0.001; all timepoints within 4 h increased, and greater than PLA; post hoc < 0.01).
