Abstract

There is a worldwide problem with consumption of energy drinks especially with college students. Many researchers have suggested the negative side effects that go along with high consumption of these drinks especially ones that contain caffeine. The high rate consuming energy drinks (Red Bull) among college students may lead to many health problems. The initial purpose of this study was to determine the pattern of consumption of commercial energy drinks among Kuwaiti college students. Based on the results of the questionnaire, the effects of the caffeinated energy drink (Red Bull) on aerobic performance, anaerobic performance and body composition of college students were further investigated. A self-administered survey was collected from 84 students randomly selected from Department of Physical Education and Sports to assess the consumption patterns and knowledge of energy drinks. Awareness of college students of the ingredients and potential health hazards of energy drinks (Red Bull) should be emphasized in the college curriculum through nutritional and health education classes. Although we reported improvement in anaerobic performance, Red Bull should not be used for this purpose.
