The Claim
Caffeine supplementation in healthy young adult males during early morning hours (07:00h) is associated with higher anaerobic and gross muscular performance, as measured by countermovement jumps, squat jumps, grip strength, and agility tests, compared to no supplementation.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In healthy young adult males, consuming caffeine at 7:00 a.m. is linked to improved performance in tests of explosive strength and agility compared to not consuming caffeine.
See the scientific wording
Caffeine supplementation in healthy young adult males during early morning hours (07:00h) is associated with higher anaerobic and gross muscular performance, as measured by countermovement jumps, squat jumps, grip strength, and agility tests, compared to no supplementation, suggesting that caffeine may mitigate some morning-related performance deficits.
Caffeine stops a natural chemical in the brain from slowing down nerve signals, which makes the brain send stronger signals to the muscles, causing them to contract harder and faster.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Effects of caffeine on early morning physical and cognitive performance
This study gave young men caffeine in the morning and found they jumped higher, gripped stronger, and moved faster than when they didn’t take caffeine — meaning caffeine helped them perform better in the morning when their bodies are usually slower.
