Caffeine, a widely consumed ergogenic aid, has been extensively studied for its
effects on exercise performance. While its stimulatory impact on the central
nervous system is well-documented, emerging research suggests that caffeine may
exert direct effects on the pulmonary, cardiovascular, and muscular systems during
high-intensity whole-body exercise. In this narrative review, we explore the
multifaceted ergogenic effects of caffeine, considering its influence on various
physiological systems and their interactions. We discuss the potential implications
of caffeine intake for athletes competing in different environments, such as
altitude, and for individuals with conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease. By integrating findings from diverse areas of research, this review provides
insights into how caffeine enhances endurance performance and suggests avenues
for further exploration of its mechanisms of action in exercise physiology.
