A Study to See if an Energy Drink With Caffeine and Green Tea Increases Fat Burning When Exercising

This study investigates whether consuming an energy drink containing caffeine and green tea extract before exercise increases fat burning (oxidation) compared with a placebo drink. Healthy, moderately active adults will attend three visits at clinic over 3-5 weeks. The first visit determines each participant's individual exercise intensity that maximises fat use during cycling. At two subsequent visits, participants will consume either the active drink or a placebo before completing a 30-minute cycling session at their personalised intensity. Fat and carbohydrate use, heart rate, blood pressure, and subjective responses will be measured at rest, during exercise, and after exercise using a double-blind, crossover design.
