5 Considerations About DRINKING COFFEE for a BOOST Before a WorkOut


More reasons why coffee may be good to drink before a workout:

2. Coffee Improves Athletic Performance


 Coffee has been linked to improved athletic performance and according to the International Society of Sports Nutrition, “caffeine is effective for enhancing various types of performance when consumed in low-to-moderate doses.” Another finding published in Sports Medicine is caffeine can “permit the athlete to train at a greater power output and/or to train longer.”  Also stated “enhanced endurance or resistance to fatigue” when caffeine is consumed.


Drinking coffee at least one hour to no less than 30 minutes prior to exercise seems to provide the best results.


Coffee drinkers may find that a simple change of drinking coffee prior to working out will feel a significant difference in performance ability.


3. Coffee Enhances Mental Focus


 Coffee and caffeine have been shown to improve mental focus which will provide a more productive and effective workout. According to Harvard Health Publications, coffee and caffeine can “give you a surge of energy and potentially improving mental performance and slowing age-related mental decline.”


4. Coffee Reduces Muscle Pain


 Coffee and caffeine have been shown to reduce exercise induced muscle pain according to University of Illinois researchers.  The study revealed “a statistically significant reduction in quadriceps muscle pain after giving the caffeine compared to the placebo pill … and habitual caffeine drinkers demonstrated reduced pain with caffeine ingestion prior to exercise testing.” Drinking a cup of coffee prior to exercise may help those who tend to give up during a workout when painful lactic acid build-up in the muscle occurs and enable them to stick to the exercise.
