For many people, coffee before training is the simplest energizing ritual. A cup of aromatic coffee, a moment of focus, and the body smoothly shifts into physical activity mode. Its effect is based primarily on caffeine, which influences the nervous system, improves concentration, and reduces the feeling of fatigue. Studies indicate that consuming caffeine before training may support endurance, increase strength and muscle power, and shorten reaction time.
