  1. Data represent mean ± SD. A main effect of congruency was observed for latency, error and task efficiency. This congruency effect did not differ between interventions (Placebo and Caffeine), or time point (pre to post exercise). Significance labelling above text show post-hoc paired sample comparisons pre to post exercise. *≤0.05.
