Detailed description
The aim of our study was to determine the acute effects of commercially available multi-ingredient pre-workout supple-ment (MIPS) containing: beta-alanine, taurine, caffeine, L-tyrosine, and cayenne pepper (capsai-cin) on physical performance in untrained men. The aerobic and anaerobic capacity was determined after ingestion of MIPS. A randomized, crossover, single-blind design was used to evaluate the effects of the dietary supplement on physical performance. The participants performed the exercise test twice, in random order: as a control test and after supplement administration (MIPS). The measurements took place over two consecutive days. Somatic measurements were taken on the same day that the first all-out test was performed. Twelve young healthy men, without medical contraindications to supramaximal and maximal intensity exercise, participated in the study. The exercise tests took place under medical supervision.
Interventions
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTmulti-ingredient pre-workout dietary supplement (caffeine-based)
The participants performed the exercise twice, in random order: as a control test and after supplement administration. The acute effects of MIPS supplementation (beta-alanine 3000 mg, taurine 1000 mg, caffeine 290 mg, L-tyrosine 125 mg, and cayenne pepper extract (Capsicum annuum L.) 4.2 mg (of which 8% capsaicin)) on aerobic and anaerobic performance were evaluated in untrained men

Inclusion criteria
lack of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disorders; no medication nor dietary supplements used within the previous month which could potentially affect the study outcomes and self-described good health status. An additional inclusion criterion was the small amount of caffeine consumed per day, i.e. only one caffeinated coffee drink per day or less.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| aerobic power | one day every 30 minutes | Aerobic power (aerobic capacity) was determined twice (pre and post) dietary supplementation on one day. The anaerobic test was performed before supplemenation and 30 minutes after. |
| anaerobic power | one day every 30 minutes | Anaerobic power (anaerobic capacity) was determined twice (pre and post) dietary supplementation on one day. The anaerobic test was performed before supplemenation and 30 minutes after. |
