Industry-Presented Webinar
An Update on Caffeine and Exercise Performance
March 28, 2024 | 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. EDT
Free Webinar
1.0 ACSM CEC
Presented by:
It has been known for a long time that caffeine ingestion improves exercise performance. It is not a nutrient but a mild drug and that is prevalent in daily life world-wide. Low doses of caffeine (200mg) are as effective at improving performance than higher doses and have few side effects in both women and men. New areas of research have been examined including caffeine administration in situations of low fuel and interrupted sleep, alternate forms of delivery (gum, energy drinks, aerosols), mouth rinsing with caffeine and the possibility that various genotypes affects the variability of caffeine ingestion.
Presenter:
Lawrence L. Spriet. Ph.D.
Dr. Lawrence L. Spriet is a University Professor Emeritus and former Chair of the Department of Human Health and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. Dr. Spriet has conducted basic research examining the regulation of human skeletal muscle fat and carbohydrate metabolism during exercise and sporting situations and how exercise training increases the metabolic capacity of these pathways. He has also conducted practical “Sports Nutrition” research to examine whether suggested "ergogenic" aids augment muscle metabolism. and/or improve human exercise performance (e.g., pyruvate, taurine, caffeine, omega fatty acids) He works with many amateur and professional ice hockey, soccer, basketball, and baseball athletes and teams, assessing their hydration and fuel status during practices and games, to prevent the negative performance effects of mild dehydration and under fueling. He is the Chair of the Gatorade Sports Science Institute XP meetings and is an advisory member of the IOC “Sports Nutrition Diploma” program. He is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine and “Citation Award” winner. He was also granted the “Honour Award” from the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology. He is an avid ice hockey player in the winter and cyclist in the summer.
Presentation Learning Objectives:
1. Understand that caffeine ingestion improves exercise performance in a large number of exercise and sporting situations.
2. Caffeine’s ergogenic effect is mediated through interaction with the central and peripheral nervous systems.
3. Caffeine may be taken in many doses and in many forms (coffee, tablets, gum, mouth rinse, etc.) and works for men and women.
4. Your genetics has some effects on the response to caffeine ingestion.
Takeaways:
1. Caffeine can be work enhancing (ergogenic) in almost all exercise situations, including endurance and resistance exercise, individual and team sports.
2. Caffeine ingestion is equally effective for women and men.
3. Research exists examining almost all aspects of the interaction between caffeine ingestion and exercise.
4. Low doses of caffeine ingestion (~200 mg) may be the optimal dose for improving performance in most exercise situations.
5. Your genetics may affect your response to caffeine ingestion.
