Industry Presented Webinar: An Update on Caffeine and Exercise Performance 

1 CEC

Sponsored by: Gatorade Sports Science Institute

Description

We’ve long known that caffeine has a positive effect on exercise, but it’s important to understand the details. For one, did you know that low doses (~200 mg) improve performance as much as higher ones? Learn about new areas of caffeine research, including mouth rinsing, alternative forms of delivery (e.g., gum, energy drinks, aerosols) and genetic diversity in caffeine response.

Learning Objectives 

After participation, the attendee should understand that:

1. Caffeine 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 (e.g., coffee, tablets, gum, mouth rinse) and works for men and women; and
4. Your genetics have some effect on your response to caffeine.
