COFFEE BENEFITS

Coffee is a source of energy. The caffeine in a cup of coffee stimulates the nervous system, facilitating coordination and improving the mood and motivation. 

Coffee increases energy, resistance, and speed, thus decreasing tiredness. 

When studying the relationship between coffee and sports, several studies have come up with the following findings:

1. Caffeine effectively increases the performance of athletes. 

2. It has been demonstrated it can increase awareness during prolonged periods of exhausting exercise, as well as on periods of sleep deprivation. 
3. Caffeine is ergogenic (helps produce energy) for sustained resistance training, and it has been demonstrated it is highly effective to obtain good performance results on different tests.
