Nutritional supplementation is a common practice among athletes, with creatine and caffeine among the most commonly used ergogenic aids. Hundreds of studies have investigated the ergogenic potential of creatine supplementation, with consistent improvements in strength and power reported for exercise bouts of short duration (≤ 30 s) and high intensity. Caffeine has been shown to improve endurance exercise performance, but results are mixed in the context of strength and sprint performance. Further, there is conflicting evidence from studies comparing the ergogenic effects of coffee and caffeine anhydrous supplementation. Previous research has identified independent mechanisms by which creatine and caffeine may improve strength and sprint performance, leading to the formulation of multi-ingredient supplements containing both ingredients. Although scarce, research has suggested that caffeine ingestion may blunt the ergogenic effect of creatine. While a pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely, authors have suggested that this effect may be explained by opposing effects on muscle relaxation time or gastrointestinal side effects from simultaneous consumption. The current review aims to evaluate the ergogenic potential of creatine and caffeine in the context of high-intensity exercise. Research directly comparing coffee and caffeine anhydrous is discussed, along with previous studies evaluating the concurrent supplementation of creatine and caffeine.
营养补充是运动员中的常见做法,肌酸和咖啡因是最常用的促力辅助剂。数百项研究调查了补充肌酸的促力潜力,结果表明,对于持续时间较短(≤30秒)且强度较高的运动,补充肌酸后力量和功率持续提高。咖啡因已被证明可改善耐力运动表现,但在力量和短跑表现方面结果不一。此外,比较咖啡和无水咖啡因补充剂促力效果的研究证据相互矛盾。先前的研究已经确定了肌酸和咖啡因可能改善力量和短跑表现的独立机制,从而导致了同时含有这两种成分的多成分补充剂的配方。尽管相关研究很少,但有研究表明,摄入咖啡因可能会削弱肌酸的促力作用。虽然不太可能存在药代动力学相互作用,但作者认为这种作用可能是由于对肌肉放松时间的相反影响或同时摄入导致的胃肠道副作用所解释。本综述旨在评估肌酸和咖啡因在高强度运动中的促力潜力。将讨论直接比较咖啡和无水咖啡因的研究,以及之前评估同时补充肌酸和咖啡因的研究。
