Energy drinks are a commonly consumed beverage, and studies suggest a possible performance-enhancing effect. A Google Scholar search using the keywords "energy drinks" and "exercise" yields numerous results, underscoring the voluminous research on this topic. However, there are questions regarding the effectiveness and safety of energy drinks. These questions include, but are not limited to: (1) What are the main active ingredients in energy drinks? (2) Do energy drinks assist in weight management? (3) Do energy drinks enhance aerobic performance? (4) Do energy drinks enhance athletic speed? (5) Do energy drinks improve reaction time? (6) Do energy drinks enhance lean tissue mass? (7) Can energy drinks improve cognitive performance? (8) Does the acute consumption of energy drinks elevate resting energy expenditure? (9) Is there any evidence to suggest that energy drinks are more effective than an identical serving of caffeine alone? (10) Are there sex differences in the response to energy drink consumption? (11) Do energy drinks affect sleep or sleepiness? (12) Should pregnant women avoid energy drinks? (13) Do energy drinks adversely affect cardiovascular function? (14) Does consuming energy drinks cause brain damage? (15) What are other safety considerations regarding energy drinks? (16) Is there any evidence to suggest that energy drinks are more effective than an identical serving of caffeine alone? (17) If caffeine is the main active ingredient in energy drinks and coffee, why is there a discrepancy in the adverse events reported for each? To address these questions, we performed an evidence-based scientific evaluation of the literature on energy drink supplementation.
能量饮料是一种常见的消费饮品，研究表明其可能具有提高运动表现的效果。在谷歌学术上使用关键词“能量饮料”和“运动”进行搜索，会得到大量结果，这凸显了关于该主题的大量研究。然而，能量饮料的有效性和安全性存在一些问题。这些问题包括但不限于：（1）能量饮料的主要活性成分有哪些？（2）能量饮料有助于体重管理吗？（3）能量饮料能提高有氧运动表现吗？（4）能量饮料能提高运动速度吗？（5）能量饮料能缩短反应时间吗？（6）能量饮料能增加瘦体重吗？（7）能量饮料能改善认知表现吗？（8）急性饮用能量饮料会提高静息能量消耗吗？（9）有没有证据表明能量饮料比等量的咖啡因更有效？（10）饮用能量饮料的反应存在性别差异吗？（11）能量饮料会影响睡眠或嗜睡吗？（12）孕妇应该避免饮用能量饮料吗？（13）能量饮料会对心血管功能产生不利影响吗？（14）饮用能量饮料会导致脑损伤吗？（15）关于能量饮料还有哪些其他安全注意事项？（16）有没有证据表明能量饮料比等量的咖啡因更有效？（17）如果咖啡因是能量饮料和咖啡的主要活性成分，为什么每种饮料报告的不良事件存在差异？为了解决这些问题，我们对有关补充能量饮料的文献进行了基于证据的科学评估。
