This is super interesting! I didn't expect to see differences, but the gaps here are noteworthy and definitely deserve more research.
Practically speaking, I figure every esports player is on caffeine already, so there's probably no real-world implication . A bit like the use of steroids in competitive bodybuilding. Bad news for your esports career, though, if you can't handle caffeine!
It’s one of the things the researchers mentioned (and that I didn’t) — it seems that even at the lower dose (about a cup of coffee) you can see these effects. You don’t necessarily need to pump yourself full of caffeine, and there is probably a ceiling effect beyond which you just get sick from caffeine rather than gain the benefits.
It IS good news though if you are sensitive to caffeine…just a cup (or even a lower dose) might be enough for you to experience the beneficial effects!
