More Research Is Necessary to Establish the Ergogenic Effect of Caffeine in Female Athletes

Today, there is a significant gap in research on the ergogenicity of caffeine, and on sports nutrition in general: the benefits/drawbacks for a given substance are typically assumed for the whole population of athletes when most of the evidence is supported by investigations with only male samples....
