Journal ArticleDOI
Improvements on neuromuscular performance with caffeine ingestion depend on the time-of-day
Ricardo Mora-Rodriguez,Jesús G. Pallarés,José María López-Gullón,Álvaro López-Samanes,Valentín E. Fernández-Elías,Juan F. Ortega +5 more
TL;DR: The ingestion of a moderate dose of caffeine counteracts the muscle contraction velocity declines observed in the morning against a wide range of loads, and evening caffeine ingestion not only has little effect on neuromuscular performance, but increases the rate of negative side-effects reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caffeine ingestion reverses the circadian rhythm effects on neuromuscular performance in highly resistance-trained men
Ricardo Mora-Rodriguez,Jesús G. Pallarés,Álvaro López-Samanes,Juan F. Ortega,ValentÃn E. Fernández-Elías +4 more
TL;DR: These results indicate that caffeine ingestion reverses the morning neuromuscular declines in highly resistance-trained men, raising performance to the levels of the afternoon trial and electrical stimulation data, along with the NE values, suggest that caffeine increases neuromUScular performance having a direct effect in the muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circadian rhythm effect on physical tennis performance in trained male players
Álvaro López-Samanes,Diego Moreno-Pérez,José Luis Maté-Muñoz,Raúl Domínguez,Jesús G. Pallarés,Ricardo Mora-Rodriguez,Juan F. Ortega +6 more
TL;DR: Comparison of morning versus afternoon testing revealed that tennis performance may be reduced when competing in the morning in comparison to early evening, so coaches and tennis players should focus on schedule the SVA, power, speed and agility training sessions in the afternoon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of an Acute Exercise Bout on Serum Hepcidin Levels
Raúl Domínguez,Antonio Jesús Sánchez-Oliver,Fernando Mata-Ordoñez,Adrián Feria-Madueño,Moisés Grimaldi-Puyana,Álvaro López-Samanes,Alberto Pérez-López +6 more
TL;DR: A search found that a single session of endurance exercise at moderate or vigorous intensity stimulates an increase in the circulating levels of hepcidin between 0 h and 6 h after the end of the exercise bout, peaking at ~3 h post-exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pseudoephedrine and circadian rhythm interaction on neuromuscular performance.
Jesús G. Pallarés,Jesús G. Pallarés,Álvaro López-Samanes,Valentín E. Fernández-Elías,Roberto Aguado-Jimenez,Juan F. Ortega,Cristina Gómez,Rosa Ventura,Rosa Ventura,Jordi Segura,Jordi Segura,Ricardo Mora-Rodriguez +11 more
TL;DR: Ingestion of a single dose of 180 mg of PSE results in enhanced lower body muscle contraction velocity against low and moderate loads only in the mornings, accompanied by undesirable side effects and an 11% risk of surpassing the doping threshold.
