Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the acute effect of Capsaicin supplementation on the heart rate (HR), rate perception of effort (RPE), and performance of Kickboxing athletes undergoing the Specific Kickboxing Circuit Training Protocol (SKCTP). Methods: The sample consisted of six black belt Kickboxing athletes (age 30.8 ± 6.47 years; height 1.76 ± 0.08 meters; body mass 82.43 ± 28.03 kg; experience in the sport 13.71 ± 9.21 years). A randomized, cross-over, double-blind design was implemented in two separate sessions, one week apart. One session involved 12 mg of Capsaicin supplementation (CAP), and the other involved Placebo supplementation (PLA). Results: The Wilcoxon test revealed that the total number of strikes thrown was significantly higher (p = 0.03; d = 1.55) in the Capsaicin condition (369.14 ± 12.10) compared to the Placebo condition (332.28 ± 31.23). The Friedman test demonstrated that the first round in the CAP condition was superior to the three rounds in the PLA condition, and the second round in CAP was superior to the second and third rounds in PLA. No differences were observed in the HR mean between the conditions (CAP: 132.42 ± 19.03 bpm and PLA: 133.57 ± 21.25 bpm; p = 0.87; d = 0.05) and in the RPE (CAP: 7.57 ± 1.51 and PLA: 7.00 ± 1.82; p = 0.43; d = 0.34). Conclusion: In conclusion, acute Capsaicin supplementation improved the performance of athletes in the SKCTP compared to the Placebo but did not show statistically significant differences in heart rate and Subjective Perceived Exertion.
