Summary
Basketball is a popular team sport where athletes score points by successfully shooting the ball into the basket. Accuracy in shooting is crucial for players to score points effectively. Pre-workout supplements (PWS) have garnered interest from athletes and fitness enthusiasts due to the purported synergistic action of their ingredients which, when consumed before training, may help improve athletic performance. The acute effect of PWS or similar on the shooting accuracy of basketball athletes has not yet been investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the acute effect of a caffeine-based PWS (containing caffeine, creatine, β-alanine, citrulline malate, and BCAAs) on the stationary free throw, two-point, and three-point shooting accuracy in basketball players.
