Background: Tendon-to-bone (TtB) healing is essential for successful rotator cuff repair (RCR). This study aimed to investigate if caffeine intake impaired TtB healing in a rat RCR model.
Methods: Seventy-two rats were randomized into a caffeinated group or a noncaffeinated group. Specimens received one week of oral caffeine solution or normal saline before RCR. All rats then underwent bilateral RCR. Caffeination or saline gavages continued until rats were sacrificed at 2, 4, and 8 weeks postoperatively. Load-to-failure (primary outcomes measure), maximum stress, and stiffness of the TtB interface were measured for one shoulder of each specimen. Six random shoulders from each group underwent histological assessment of TtB healing.
Results: Load-to-failure and maximum stress of RCR did not appear to differ between groups at any time point. No difference in RCR stiffness was found between groups at 2 and 4 weeks; however, stiffness in the caffeinated group did appear to lower at 8 weeks ( = .04).
Conclusion: Perioperative caffeine intake did not appear to affect load-to-failure strength of RCR in an animal model. Although our secondary outcome measures of maximum stress and stiffness also did not appear to be influenced by perioperative caffeine intake, there did appear to be a trend toward decreased RCR stiffness at 8 weeks postoperatively in specimens that received caffeine.

Weightlifting demands explosive power and neuromuscular coordination in brief, repeated intervals. These physiological demands underscore the critical role of nutrition, not only in optimizing performance during competitions but also in supporting athletes' rigorous training adaptations and ensuring effective recovery between sessions. As weightlifters strive to enhance their performance, well-structured nutritional strategies are indispensable.

Background: We aimed to investigate the association between maternal caffeine intake during pregnancy and asthma in children by 10 years of age.
Methods: We considered 5585 mother-child pairs enrolled in a population-based birth cohort. Consumption of regular and decaffeinated coffee, black and green tea, and cola beverages before and during pregnancy was obtained through face-to-face interviews within 72 h after giving birth, and total caffeine intake (mg/day) was estimated.

Objective: The study aimed to assess responsiveness to the effects of acute caffeine intake after 8 weeks of Pilates intervention in healthy older adults.
Methods: Fifteen healthy older adults performed physical performance regarding daily practice, strength, and balance tests after ingestion of acute 5 mg/kg of caffeine or placebo before and after Pilates training.
Results: The caffeine intake reduced, regardless of Pilates training, the time in 10-m walk test (before placebo vs caffeine, 6.

Background And Aims: To identify the patterns of coffee drinking timing in the US population and evaluate their associations with all-cause and cause-specific mortality.
Methods: This study included 40 725 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2018 who had complete information on dietary data and 1463 adults from the Women's and Men's Lifestyle Validation Study who had complete data on 7-day dietary record. Clustering analysis was used to identify patterns of coffee drinking timing.
