This study examined the ability of a commercial energy drink to enhance acceleration tolerance, strength under G-load, and cognitive performance immediately prior to and following acceleration exposure. Eight experienced centrifuge subjects completed three separate experimental acceleration exposures following ingestion of 11.5 ml/kg body weight of a)a commercial energy drink, providing 5.0 mg caffeine/kg body weight, b) a commercial energy drink without caffeine or c) placebo. The acceleration exposures consisted of ...
This study examined the ability of a commercial energy drink to enhance acceleration tolerance, strength under G-load, and cognitive performance immediately prior to and following acceleration exposure. Eight experienced centrifuge subjects completed three separate experimental acceleration exposures following ingestion of 11.5 ml/kg body weight of (a) a caffeine-carbohydrate drink, providing 5.0 mg caffeine/kg body weight, (b) a carbohydrate-only drink or (c) placebo. Each exposure consisted of a relaxed gradual onset ...
