Effect of different protocols of caffeine intake on metabolism and endurance performance

TLDR
Overall, 6 mg/kg caffeine enhanced TT performance independent of timing of intake and replacing sports drink with Coca-Cola during the latter stages of exercise was equally effective in enhancing endurance performance.
Abstract
Competitive athletes completed two studies of 2-h steady-state (SS) cycling at 70% peak O2uptake followed by 7 kJ/kg time trial (TT) with carbohydrate (CHO) intake before (2 g/kg) and during (6% CH...

Fluid and fuel intake during exercise

TL;DR: The amounts of water, carbohydrate and salt that athletes are advised to ingest during exercise are based upon their effectiveness in attenuating both fatigue as well as illness due to hyperthermia, dehydration or hyperhydration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of caffeine ingestion on rating of perceived exertion during and after exercise: a meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Regression analysis revealed that RPE obtained during exercise could account for ∼29% of the variance in the improvement in exercise performance and this may partly explain the subsequent ergogenic effects of caffeine on performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of caffeine's effects on cognitive, physical and occupational performance.

TL;DR: Repeated administration of caffeine is an effective strategy to maintain physical and cognitive capabilities, since most real-world activities require complex decision making, motor processing and movement.

Table of nonprotein respiratory quotient: an update.

TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to point out some limits and inconsistencies in the table of nonprotein respiratory quotient that is universally used, developed by Lusk in 1924, which was derived from biochemical and physical data that are now outdated.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new validated endurance performance test.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reproducibility of three different endurance performance tests was evaluated and it was concluded that reproducability of a test at 75% Wmax until exhaustion is poor and these tests are not reliable.

Effects of caffeine ingestion on metabolism and exercise performance.

TL;DR: The enhanced endurance performance observed in the C Trial was likely the combined effects of caffeine on lipolysis and its positive influence on nerve impulse transmission.

Metabolic, catecholamine, and exercise performance responses to various doses of caffeine

TL;DR: The results are not compatible with the traditional theory that caffeine mediates its ergogenic effect via enhanced catecholamines, and only the highest dose of caffeine resulted in increases in glycerol and free fatty acids.

Peak power output predicts maximal oxygen uptake and performance time in trained cyclists.

TL;DR: It is concluded that for trained cyclists, theVO2max can be accurately predicted from Wpeak, and that Wpeak is a valid predictor of 20-km cycle time.
