Wikipedia: Caffeine

Encyclopedia overview of caffeine pharmacology, dietary sources, metabolism, acute effects, dependence, and toxicity framing—navigation only for exercise-performance statistics.

Scope

Summarises adenosine-receptor antagonism, half-life, beverage caffeine content, sleep interaction, and toxic dose orders of magnitude—useful vocabulary when reading pre-exercise supplement trials.

Evidence boundary

Pooled ergogenic SMDs, GRADE judgments, and domain-specific forest plots belong to the PubMed-linked umbrella review on caffeine-ergogenic-supplementation—not Wikipedia tables.

Pairing

  • grgic-2020-caffeine-exercise-umbrella-bjsm — quantitative umbrella of 21 meta-analyses on performance endpoints.
  • guest-2021-issn-caffeine-exercise-position-stand — ISSN dose / timing / genetics consensus layer next to the umbrella statistics.
  • creatine-monohydrate-supplementation — distinct phosphocreatine supplement literature; occasional co-use in training studies does not merge evidence streams here.
