Effects of Caffeine on Exercise Responses and Performance in Children and Youth

Kenneth R Turley. Am J Lifestyle Med. .

Abstract

Extensive research has been performed investigating the effects of caffeine during exercise in adults with many reviews published in just the past 10 years. Limited research has been conducted in children despite the fact that they are one of the fastest growing consumers of caffeine. In light of the limited research, in writing this review no inclusion or exclusion criteria were used, as the aim of the review is to provide as wide a research base as possible. This review will present the data that has systematically investigated the acute effects of caffeine in children and youth during exercise.

Keywords: caffeine; children; exercise; youth.
