Physiol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>This study aimed to explore the effects of sleep restriction of \u22645 h within 24 h on anaerobic and aerobic performance in male college soccer players and evaluated the effects of acute supplementation of 3 mg\u22c5kg<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> caffeine on the aerobic and anaerobic performance of college male soccer players under sleep restriction. Methods: 10 college male soccer players were recruited, and a randomized crossover experimental design was adopted. The subjects received three intervention treatments in a randomized crossover order: Normal sleep night (NSN), sleep restriction night supplemented with placebo (SRP), and sleep restriction night supplemented with 3 mg\u22c5kg<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> caffeine (SRC), and participated in the Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) and 30-15 Intermittent Fitness Test (30-15<jats:sub>IFT<\/jats:sub>). Results: The main effect of the RAST and the 30-15<jats:sub>IFT<\/jats:sub> scores was significant (P&amp;lt;0.05). Post hoc analyses showed that the peak power, mean power, peak power\/body mess, mean power\/body mess, peak velocity mean velocity, fatigue index of the RAST, and the velocity of the intermittent fitness test (V<jats:sub>IFT<\/jats:sub>), maximal oxygen uptake (VO<jats:sub>2max<\/jats:sub>), and time to exhaustion (TTE) of the 30-15<jats:sub>IFT<\/jats:sub> in the SRP group were significantly lower than those of the NSN group (P &amp;lt; 0.05), and the total time of the RAST was significantly higher than that of the NSN group (P &amp;lt; 0.05); there were significant differences between the V<jats:sub>IFT<\/jats:sub>, VO<jats:sub>2max<\/jats:sub> and TTE indicators tested at 30-15<jats:sub>IFT<\/jats:sub> between the SRC group and the SRP group (P &amp;lt; 0.05). Still, other indicators had no significant differences (P &amp;gt; 0.05). Conclusion: Sleep restriction harms the anaerobic repeated sprint and aerobic performance of college soccer players; acute supplementation of 3 mg\u22c5kg<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> of caffeine can effectively reduce the negative impact of insufficient sleep the night before on the aerobic endurance performance of college soccer players. Athletes or coaches should consider caffeine supplementation as a strategy to alleviate the negative impacts of sleep deprivation, but individual tolerance and potential side effects should be taken into account.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphys.2025.1561695","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,19]],"date-time":"2025-03-19T07:08:55Z","timestamp":1742368135000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Effect of caffeine supplementation on anaerobic and aerobic performance in sleep-restricted male college soccer players"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Ruiqi","family":"Cheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weili","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zeng","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaotian","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"325","DOI":"10.1080\/02701367.2020.1834071","article-title":"Sleep restriction in elite soccer players: effects on explosive power, wellbeing, and cognitive function","volume":"93","author":"Abbott","year":"2022","journal-title":"Res.
