Q

What is the indirect proposed mechanism of caffeine?

A

Indirectly by epinephrine which inhibits adenosine receptors on adipocytes. This increases Cyclic AMP which activates hormone sensitive lipases to promote lipolysis. This conserves muscle glycogen benefiting high-intensity endurance exercise

55
Q

What are the effects of creatine on body Composition changes?

A

Increase mass when paired against placebo

56
Q

What are the effects of creatine on Strength changes?

A

Increase strength when compared to placebo group

57
Q

What are the effects of creatine on Cross sectional area when compared to a placebo group?

Increase CSA of muscle fibers with Creatine supplementation

58
Q

What evidence supports the use for creatine supplementation?

A

  2. Increased Strength
  3. Increased CSA of Muscle
59
Q

_____________ may improve physical performance due to increases in blood flow and muscle and core temperatures

A

Warm-up

60
Q

What are the physiological benefits to a warm up? (5)

A
  1. Faster contraction and relaxation time
  2. Greater economy of movement because of lowered viscous resistance within active muscle
  3. Facilitated O2 delivery and use of muscles, because hemoglobin releases O2 more readily at higher temperatures
  4. Facilitated nerve transmissions and muscle metabolism
  5. Increased Blood flow through active tissues as the local vascular bed dilates with higher level of metabolism and muscle temperature
