caffeine

[pudgy]

Caffeine has been used by endurance athletes for years as a way to stay alert and improve endurance. It is one of the best-researched nutritional supplements, and the overwhelming scientific evidence suggests that, in moderation, it has no adverse health effects.

Caffeine Claims

Improves athletic performance
Increases energy
Delays fatigue
Improves fat burning
Spares muscle glycogen
Enhances body fat loss
Research Shows

Acts as a CNS stimulant
Raises epinephrine levels
Increases alertness
Delays fatigue
May slightly spare muscle glycogen
Does not promote body fat loss
Tips and Cautions

3-6 mg/kg of caffeine one hour prior to exercise improves overall endurance
Side effects include nausea, muscle tremor, palpitations and headache
Potentiates ephedrine side-effects (should not be taken together)
Acts as a diuretic, so adequate fluid intake is crucial
Caffeine use is fairly common among athletes at all levels of competition. Keep in mind that caffeine is on the IAOC banned substance list, so athletes in international competition would be wise to moderate its use.
