Reply to comment by Ruhh-Rohh in A study on volleyball players found that caffeinated chewing gum significantly improved attack accuracy compared to placebo. However, this did not improve results in jumping tests, running tests, and other volleyball specific-skills, including speed tests and accuracy during the volleyball serve by glawgii

I was about to say that caffeine infused gum tastes mostly normal, but then I read what they actually took in the study: For men it was about 6 portions of gum totaling 300mg of caffeine. Basically 5-6 cups of coffee’s worth of caffeine.

Yeah… “gag” is probably the correct reaction to this…

You're saying one cup is equivalent to 50mg of caffeine? I thought one cup was commonly equivalent to 100mg.

Sorry, I was thinking like espresso based drinks. A cup of drip coffee would be definitely closer to 100.
