Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| An increase in the maximum number of dynamic repetitions in the pull-up test with kimono grip is expected, with higher values in the combined supplementation condition of caffeine and capsaicin compared with the other experimental conditions after adjustment for body mass. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| A reduction in rating of perceived exertion is expected in the isolated capsaicin supplementation condition compared with the other experimental conditions;An increase in blood lactate concentration and heart rate is expected in the isolated caffeine supplementation condition compared with the other experimental conditions.;An increase in peak force in the handgrip strength test is expected, with higher values in the combined supplementation condition of caffeine and capsaicin compared with the other experimental conditions after allometric normalization.;An increase in the maximum isometric hold time in the pull-up test with kimono grip is expected, with higher values in the combined supplementation condition of caffeine and capsaicin compared with the other experimental conditions after allometric correction. | — |
