The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of training on aerobic power and the relationship to excess post exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) after supramaximal exercise. Ten untrained males participated in a six week training study. The subjects performed pre and post training VO2max tests and anaerobic speed tests (ASTs). EPOC volume and EPOC rate components (1 and 2) as well...

The effect of caffeine (430-500 mg/liter of drinking water) on the initiation and promotion phases of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary gland tumorigenesis in female SpragueDawley rats fed a chemically defined diet containing standard (5%) or high (20%) levels of fat (corn oil) was examined. In the initiation studies, caffeine and the standard or high fat diet treatments wer...

Caffeine acutely raises blood pressure (BP). The clinical significance of this effect depends on whether BP responses persist in persons who consume caffeine on a daily basis. Accordingly, the ability of caffeine to raise BP after 5 days of regular daily intake was tested in a randomized controlled trial. Individual differences in tolerance formation were then examined. Men (n=49) and women (n=...
