Abstract: (82 Views)
Introduction: Caffeine, as a common psychoactive stimulant, can improve athletic performance. However, its oral administration is associated with side effects and delayed absorption. Caffeine mouthwash, as an alternative method, allows for faster absorption and reduced side effects. This study aimed to investigate the effect of caffeine mouthwash consumption on anaerobic power indices in young soccer players.
Methods: In this quasi-experimental study with a crossover design, 16 young male soccer players (aged 18–22 years) were recruited after providing written informed consent. Each participant underwent the 30-second Wingate test on three separate occasions with a 72-hour interval between sessions: one session under the placebo condition, one under the 300 mg caffeine mouth rinse condition, and one under the 500 mg caffeine mouth rinse condition. The collected data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance.
Results: Consumption of caffeine mouthwash at both 300 and 500 mg doses resulted in a significant increase in peak power (p=0.001) and mean power (p=0.001), compared to the placebo group. The greatest improvement was observed at the 500 mg dose. Moreover, the power loss was significantly reduced in the caffeine consumption condition (p=0.001). However, no significant difference was observed in the time to peak power among different conditions (p=0.324).
Conclusion: It can be concluded that caffeine mouthwash, especially at a dose of 500 mg, can be used as a practical and low-complication strategy to improve anaerobic power indices among young soccer players.
