Caffeine increases plasma caffeine levels significantly during recovery.
Monitoring caffeine levels can be important for understanding its effects on recovery.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
After 1 h of recovery plasma caffeine levels has increased to 31 ±4 μM (P<0.001) and at the end of the recovery reached 77 ±4 μM (P<0.001) with CAFF.
