Caffeine use or napping to enhance repeated sprint performance after partial sleep deprivation: Why not both? by Romdhani, Mohamed

“…Purpose: To compare the effect of a 20-minute nap opportunity (N20), a moderate dose of caffeine (CAF; 5 mg·kg-1), or a moderate dose of caffeine before N20 (CAF+N) as possible countermeasures to the decreased performance and the partial sleep deprivation-induced muscle damage. …”
