Abstract
Background Current research has shown varied results when comparing the effects of caffeinated beverages on explosive exercise movements. We hypothesized that lower body muscular explosiveness would be significantly increased (p < 0.05) after Redline ® energy drink ingestion versus a similar placebo (PLB) drink in recreationally active subjects (n=16). Methods After a day of dietary control and caffeine abstinence, otherwise-fasted participants performed four separate, strict squat jumps (SJ) under both conditions 48 – 96 hours apart. The variables measured included peak power (POW), peak force (FOR), peak velocity (VEL), maximal displacement (DSP), and maximal rate of force development (RFD) in the SJ for both Redline ® energy drink and
