Caffeine: a valuable tool to study central fatigue in humans?
Abstract
This review focuses on caffeine's effects on the central modulation of muscle activation in humans. The drug's effects on voluntary muscle activation, the Hoffman reflex, motor-evoked potentials, self-sustained firing, pain, and sensation are discussed, and the possibility that caffeine maybe useful in the study of central fatigue is explored.
