Abstract: We have recently experienced a progressive increase in the use of ergogenic nutritional aids. Caffeine, one of the most widely used psychoactive substances in the world, has been shown to be effective in improving the physical performance by a combination of effects on central and peripheral systems, both related to the delay in the appearance of neuromuscular fatigue and the reduction in the effort perception, which could help to prevent the appearance of muscle injuries. The aim of this review was to summarize the scientific evidence on the central and peripheral effects of caffeine intake on muscle fatigue. Methods, a review of the literature was conducted to identify relevant articles relating caffeine consumption and endurance performance based on main electronic databases and web pages of reference.
