Özet
BackgroundSitting volleyball relies heavily on upper-body strength and anaerobic capacity. Serve, spike, and speed-endurance are decisive skills, yet the ergogenic potential of low-dose caffeine in this Paralympic sport remains unclear.PurposeTo examine the acute effects of low-dose caffeine (3 mg/kg) supplementation on serve speed, spike speed, and speed-endurance in elite sitting volleyball players.MethodsUsing a randomized, double-blind, crossover design, 13 elite male athletes from the Turkish National Sitting Volleyball Team completed serve speed, spike speed, and speed-endurance tests under caffeine (CAF) and placebo (PLA) conditions.ResultsCaffeine intake produced a moderate improvement in serve speed (p = 0.028, d = 0.460); however, this effect did not remain statistically significant after Bonferroni correction (adjusted p = 0.084). No significant effects were observed for spike speed (p …
