Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Caffeine, a stimulant found naturally in coffee and tea and added to energy drinks, has been widely studied for its physiological and cognitive benefits. Research indicates that moderate caffeine intake may offer health benefits, such as enhanced cognitive function, improved athletic performance, and a reduced risk of certain diseases, including Parkinson's disease and type 2 diabetes.
This Special Issue will showcase comprehensive studies that examine both the positive and negative health and performance outcomes associated with caffeinated beverage consumption. We invite original research articles and reviews that delve into various aspects, including the impact of caffeine on cardiovascular health, metabolic processes, neurological functions, and athletic performance and its role in disease prevention or progression. Submissions focusing on different population groups, consumption patterns, and the influence of other compounds present in caffeinated beverages are particularly welcome. Our goal is to provide a balanced and nuanced overview of how caffeinated beverages affect health and athletic performance, guiding consumers and healthcare professionals in making informed decisions.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
