Özet
Introduction Modern athletic performance is driven not only by physical capacity but also by rapid decision-making, attentional control, and visuomotor coordination. Evidence regarding the acute effects of caffeine (CAF), L-theanine (TEA), and their combination remains inconsistent, particularly with respect to their combined influence on physical and cognitive performance in athletic populations. This study examined the acute effects of isolated and combined CAF and TEA supplementation on maximal strength, intermittent aerobic endurance, and eye–hand coordination in competitive athletes. It was hypothesized that the combined ingestion of CAF and TEA would differentially affect physical performance and eye-hand coordination outcomes compared with isolated CAF or TEA intake. Methods Twenty trained athletes completed four randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover conditions: CAF (3 mg·kg …
