A 2021 study examined the effects of caffeine intake post-training and its influence on glycogen replenishment, and the results are surprising! We go deep into the methodology, results, and practical implications of the study for athletes, especially those with tight training schedules or double session days. We also cover nuanced insights into glycogen synthase activity, blood glucose, and insulin levels in response to caffeine consumption after exhaustive exercise.
