Why should caffeine be used?
Table of Contents
1. What is caffeine?
Caffeine is an alkaloid that has the ability to stimulate the central nervous system. It is an extract of plants such as coffee, tea, yerba mate, guarana, coca, and others. Caffeinine is used in bodybuilding because it has the capacity to block adenosine receptors, stimulate adrenaline release, increase calcium sensitivity, and inhibit the enzyme phosphodiesterase.2. Caffeine burns the fat
If you want to get rid of excess fat, then caffeine will definitely help you do that. Whether you're working or resting, caffeine increases the concentration of free fatty acids in your blood, which promotes the use of subcutaneous fat as fuel. More than 20 years ago, researchers at the Human Performance Laboratory at Indiana University showed that the amount of free fat in the blood tissue increased in participants by 100% after less than 330 grams of caffeine. Additionally, it was shown that caffeine increased the level of fat in your eyes during aerobic exercise. In one experiment, the result was an increase of 50 percent after consuming 5 milligrams of coffee.3. Caffeine and athletic performance indicators
The physiological effects of caffeine have not yet been fully studied. But three biological reactions of the body to caffeine were studied: caffeine's fat burning properties, which also increase overall oxygen efficiency. During aerobic training, the body burns large amounts of fat and a limited amount of glycogen. As the body depletes glycogens, it decreases its efficiency. Taking caffeine increases the level of free fatty acids in the blood, which is called the glycogenic saving effect.4. Caffeine increases the body's capabilities
Numerous studies have focused on the effect of caffeine on the oxygen performance of the human body. The most frequently cited experiment was conducted in 1978 in the state of Indiana, which was mentioned above. By consuming 5 milligrams per kilogram of body weight, participants were able to train on an ergometer for 20% longer. Since then, caffeine's effect on oxygen performance has been confirmed many times.
