Listening to self-selected motivational music (SSMM) during warm-ups and caffeine (CAF) intake prior exercise can independently enhance athletic performance among female athletes. Likewise, the potential synergistic effects of these interventions have not yet been thoroughly examined. Objective: The purpose study was assess independent combined SSMM warm-up pre-exercise CAF on maximal short-duration in Methods: Seventeen handball players (aged 16.7 ± 0.4 years) participated a randomized, double-blind, crossover study. Each athlete completed four conditions: (i) placebo (PLA) with no interventions, (ii) (MUS), (iii) only (CAF), (iv) combination (MUS + CAF). Performance assessments included countermovement jump (CMJ), modified agility t-test (MAT), repeated-sprint ability (RSA) test (mean peak sprint performance), rating perceived exertion (RPE). Results: MUS (p > 0.05; p < 0.01; 0.001, respectively), (all 0.001), 0.01) conditions significantly outperformed PLA condition CMJ, MAT, RSA mean, measures. No significant differences were observed between conditions; however, best performances recorded CAF. RPE scores remained consistent across conditions. Conclusions: Warm-up routines incorporating either or moderate dose (6 mg·kg−1) anaerobic While both are effective independently, elicits stronger effect. Although difference demonstrated for this combination, concurrent use appears produce effect, emerging as most strategy optimizing performance.
