Abstract
Background Caffeine is one of the most popular ergogenic aids consumed by athletes. Caffeine’s ergogenic effect has been generally explained by its ability to bind to adenosine receptors, thus modulating pain and reducing perceived exertion. Another pharmacological agent that may improve performance due to its analgesic proprieties is paracetamol. This study aimed to explore the effects of caffeine, paracetamol, and caffeine + paracetamol consumption on muscular endurance, strength, power, anaerobic endurance, and jumping performance.Methods In this randomized, crossover, double-blind study, 2
