Wpeak: Peak power (w/kg); EMGWpeak: rms-EMG at Wpeak; TWpeak: time (s) to achieve the maximal power; TEMGpeak: time (s) to achieve the maximal rms-EMG record; Wmean: Average power (w/kg); EMGmean: Average rms-EMG; Wmin: Minimum power (w/kg); EMGWmin: rms-EMG at Wmin; EMGVL: rms-EMG recorded on the vastus lateralis; EMGBF: rms-EMG recorded on the biceps femoris; EMGGM: rms-EMG recorded on the gluteus maximus; EMGGL: rms-EMG recorded on the gastrocnemius lateral head; EMGTA: rms-EMG recorded on the tibialis anterior; EMGMED: Mean rms-EMG recorded on the five muscles analyzed; Data of power output expressed as Watts·kg−1, and rms-EMG data as a base index one. * Significant difference between Placebo and Caffeine condition at p < 0.05.
