I like this quote:
"Caffeine-naïve individuals and habitual users have the same amount of reduction in pain during exercise after caffeine (consumption)."
"Caffeine-naïve" is my new favorite phrase.
Motl said one of the next logical steps for his research team would be to conduct studies with rodents in order to better understand the biological mechanism for caffeine in reducing pain.
And the above quote sounds like it could be the inspiration for Jimby's next vlog installment...
A couple of aspirin with plenty of water after practice/meets has a similar effect. (the "miracle" drug) And you don't have to pay phenom dollars to have a Barrista to whip them up!
