Dr Nazish Shaikh (2017) studied Healthy, sedentary (n=75). Caffeine vs. Baseline (pre-caffeine) was evaluated on Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) in mm Hg (p=0.000). Caffeine ingestion of /kg one hour prior to short-term exercise increased systolic blood pressure (150 vs 136 mm Hg) and decreased VO2max in sedentary young men.
