这项研究是为了检查英国运动员自我报告的咖啡因消费量及其使用原因，从2004年世界反兴奋剂机构（WADA）禁用清单中删除。田径运动员（n = 193）和自行车运动员（n = 287）完成了一个方便的样本邮寄或基于Web的问卷。消息被张贴在田径和自行车俱乐部的网站和邮件列表，以指导运动员的网络调查问卷。在国内体育赛事中分发了邮寄问卷。自行车运动员（59.9%）与田径运动员（32.6%）相比，更高比例的运动员摄入咖啡因以提高成绩（p < 0.001）。与代表自行车运动（p=0.031）和田径运动（p=0.010）的亚精英运动员相比，精英运动员使用咖啡因来提高成绩的比例更高。在所有使用的含咖啡因的产品中，咖啡、能量饮料、药物制剂和含咖啡因的运动补充剂最普遍。结果显示，在英国运动员中，使用咖啡因作为一种麦角援助的意图很高，并且与休闲运动相比，在竞技体育中，特别是在精英水平上，使用咖啡因更为广泛和被接受。
This study was undertaken to examine self-reported caffeine consumption and reasons for its use, amongst UK athletes, following its removal from the 2004 World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List. A convenience sample of track and field athletes (n = 193) and cyclists (n = 287) completed a postal or Web-based questionnaire. Messages were posted on athletics and cycling club Web sites and mailing lists to direct athletes to the Web-based questionnaire. Postal questionnaires were distributed at domestic sporting events. A higher proportion of cyclists (59.9%) compared with track and field athletes (32.6%) consumed caffeine to enhance performance (p < 0.001). A higher proportion of elite as opposed to sub-elite athletes representing cycling (p=0.031) and athletics (p=0.010) used caffeine to enhance performance. Of all caffeine containing products used, coffee, energy drinks, pharmaceutical preparations and caffeinated sports supplements were most prevalent. Results revealed that amongst UK athletes, the intention to use caffeine as an ergogenic aid was high, and that use was more widespread and accepted in competitive sport, especially at elite level, when compared to recreational sport.
