on Caffeine's Effect on Performance

The soundbite summary: Something is “worth a shot” when it seems to have an effect beyond a placebo effect, and caffeine has this trend across multiple modalities. The effect isn’t large enough to pull someone from average to elite (training and genetics do that), but a ~5% improvement is enough to be interesting for the non-professional athlete.
