dextrose/fatigue

BACKGROUND Although enhanced temporal summation (TS) and conditioned pain modulation (CPM), as characteristic for central sensitization, has been proved to be impaired in different chronic pain populations, the exact nature is still unknown. OBJECTIVE We examined differences in TS and CPM in 2

Abstract The study examined the effect of caffeine supplementation on match activities and development of fatigue during a football match. In a randomised, double-blind cross-over design, two experimental football games separated by 7 days were organised between the junior teams of two professional

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 28 days of beta-alanine (b-Ala) and creatine monohydrate (CrM) supplementation on the onset of neuromuscular fatigue by using the physical working capacity at neuromuscular fatigue threshold (PWC(FT)) test in untrained men. Fifty-one men (mean

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a nonspecific antioxidant that selectively inhibits acute fatigue of rodent skeletal muscle stimulated at low (but not high) tetanic frequencies and that decreases contractile function of unfatigued muscle in a dose-dependent manner. The present experiments test the

The study investigated the influence of β-Alanine supplementation during a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program on repeated sprint ability (RSA) performance. This study was randomized, double-blinded and placebo-controlled. Eighteen men performed an incremental running test until

Ten physically active, untrained, college-aged males (26.4 +/- 5. 8 years old) received creatine (CR, 5 g creatine monohydrate + 3 g dextrose) and placebo (PLA, 7 g dextrose) supplementation four times per day for 5 days in a double-blind, randomized, balanced, crossover design. Performance was

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 5 days of Creatine (Cr) loading on the electromyographic fatigue threshold (EMGFT) in college-aged women. Fifteen healthy college-aged women (mean +/- SD = 22.3 +/- 1.7 yrs) volunteered to participate in this double-blind, placebo-controlled

Heat-related illnesses cause 240 deaths annually. Although common in athletes, heat-related illnesses also affect the elderly, persons with predisposing medical conditions and those taking a variety of medications. Symptoms range from mild weakness, dizziness and fatigue in cases of heat edema, to

The aim of this study was to examine whether ingesting water alone, or dextrose (7.5 g x 100 ml(-1)) with electrolytes, or fructose/corn solids (7.5 g x 100 ml(-1)) (400 ml every 20 min) would reduce the perceived exertion associated with 16 km (3 h) walking/running in the heat compared with that

Because the haemoglobin concentration Hb[ during exercise may be at the upper limit of blood viscosity for effective oxygen delivery, we hypothesised that administration of blood would not further enhance oxygen delivery or exercise capacity. Six Thoroughbred geldings were used in 5 incremental

To evaluate the influence of a high-O2 affinity of the erythrocyte and of flow rate on muscle's ability to extract O2 and develop force, we perfused dog gastrocnemius contracting isometrically at 4 Hz with normal-O2-affinity perfusate or high-O2-affinity perfusate at high and moderate flows (200 and

A 31-year old non-diabetic woman presented to our hospital with symptoms of dehydration, drowsiness, fatigue, shortness of breath and vomiting present for two consecutive days prior to admission. She had started a low carbohydrate, high fat (LCHF) diet to induce weight loss while breastfeeding her

To examine the effects of caffeine during exercise in fire protective ensemble (FPE), 10 healthy males completed 3 x 10 min bouts of treadmill exercise on two separate days. Sixty minutes prior to exercise either 6 mg/kg of caffeine (CAFF) or dextrose placebo (PLA) capsules were ingested (randomly

Citrulline-malate (CM) purportedly increases exercise performance through increased nitric oxide production. The effects of CM on muscular strength performance are well-documented; however, the benefits of CM on aerobic and anaerobic biking performance are not well researched. Therefore, the present
