Concurrent training and caffeine supplementation on resistance training performance - A short research report

Caffeine supplementation affects the immunometabolic response to concurrent training

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of caffeine (CAF) and carbohydrate (CHO) intake on strength performance and its metabolic and inflammatory responses during concurrent training. Seven active males ingested a double-placebo (P), CAF (capsule 5 mg/kg) or CHO (20% maltodextrin solution) supplementation before strength exercise. Participants performed three randomized ses...

Effect of four weeks concurrent training (aerobics-resistance) and caffeine supplementation on body composition and lipid profile in overweight girls

Introduction: performing exercise and applying of food strategies is one of the healthy and low risk approaches to overweight treatment. In this case, some researchers believe in that lipotropic supplement such as caffeine with or without endurance and resistance physical exercise may cause to improvement of cardiovascular risk. However, there is not comprehensive studies in the case of effecti...

Effect of one-month concurrent training with or without caffeine supplementation on resting energy expenditure and leptin resistance in overweight women

Background and Objective: Leptin resistance is an important risk factor for obesity. So, the present study was conducted in order to determine the effectiveness of one-month concurrent training with and without caffeine ingestion on the resting energy expenditure and leptin resistance in overweight women.   Materials and Methods: 20 non-athlete and overweight women in a double-blind and quasi...

Carbohydrate supplementation and resistance training.

There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that the performance of resistance-training exercises can elicit a significant glycogenolytic effect that potentially could result in performance decrements. These decrements may result in less than optimal physiological adaptations to training. Currently some scientific evidence suggests that carbohydrate supplementation prior to and during high-v...
