Abstract
The study investigated the level of awareness and perceived effects of organically formulated and energy drinks among Obafemi Awolowo University athletes. It investigated the perceived effects of organically formulated and energy drinks on the physiological and performance characteristics of Obafemi Awolowo University athletes. The study also compared the relationship between the perceived effects of organically formulated drinks and energy drinks consumption on Obafemi Awolowo University athletes' performance and physiological characteristics. This was with the aim of establishing knowledge and awareness level of Obafemi Awolowo University athletes on the organically formulated and energy drinks supplementation, in order to further inform the choice of healthier performance supplementation alternatives for athletes.
The study employed a descriptive survey research method using a sample population of 330 collegiate athletes in 11 of the 16 NUGA-accredited sports at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun state, Nigeria.
