Numbers represent intra-group comparisons:

¹= Different from the 1^st km of the same session;

²= Different from the 2^nd km of the same session;

³= Different from the 3^rd km of the same session.

Symbols represent inter-group comparison:

^*Different from the total time of the control session;

^†Different from the 4^th km of the control session;

^‡Different from the 3^rd km of the control session;

^#Different from the 1^st km of the control session and from the 1^st km of the caffeine session. All differences were set at p < 0.05.
