When you exercise, your body uses glycogen, a type of sugar that you get from food, for energy. Caffeine slows the depletion of glycogen by encouraging the body to use more fat as fuel, which helps to conserve energy over long periods of time. For this reason sports that deplete a lot of glycogen, specifically endurance events, benefit the most from caffeine consumption. Activities lasting longer than an hour with sustained effort, such as running, cycling, and cross-country skiing, all benefit from caffeine supplementation by allowing athletes to increase their endurance, accuracy, and speed. In addition, drinking caffeine prior to physical exertion might actually help reduce the perception of pain. bostinno.streetwise.co/channels/how-does-caffeine-affect-your-workout/
