The purpose of the present study was to determine whether exposure to exogenous physiological concentrations of caffeine influence contractility, Ca2+handling, and fatigue development in isolated singleXenopus laevisskeletal muscle fibers. After isolation, two identical contractile periods (separated by 60-min rest) were conducted in each single myofiber (n= 8) at 20°C. During the first contractile period, four fibers were perfused with a noncaffeinated Ringer solution, while the other four fibers were perfused with a caffeinated (70 μM) Ringer solution. The order was reversed for the second contractile period. The single myofibers were stimulated during each contractile period at increasing frequencies (0.16, 0.20, 0.25, 0.33, 0.50, and 1.0 tetanic contractions/s), with each stimulation frequency lasting 2 min until fatigue ensued, defined in this study as a fall in tension development to 66% of maximum. Tension development and free cytosolic [Ca2+] (fura-2 fluorescence spectroscopy) were simultaneously measured. There was no significant difference in the peak force generation, time to fatigue, cytosolic Ca2+levels, or relaxation times between the noncaffeinated and caffeinated trials. These results demonstrate that physiological levels of caffeine have no significant effect onXenopussingle myofiber contractility, Ca2+handling, and fatigue development, and suggest that any ergogenic effects of physiological levels of caffeine on muscle performance during contractions of moderate to high intensity are likely related to factors extraneous to the muscle fiber.
