- Supplementation
- Caffeine
- If drunk prior to performance can cause significant increase in all fibre types during both anaerobic and aerobic exercise
- Therefore improving fatigue resistance during performance
- Consuming to much caffeine leads to a drop in performance, for endurance events such as a marathon
- Stimulus central nervous system, reducing reaction times
- Diuretic & promotes fat metabolism
- Can produce a state of nervousness, disrupt sleeping pattern
- If drunk prior to performance can cause significant increase in all fibre types during both anaerobic and aerobic exercise
- Creatine
- found in the skeletal muscle and is stored as phosphocreatine
- Creatine together with CHO increases PC levels to enhance ATC-PC system
- Delaying lactic acid system
- This is a legal ergogenic aid
- Delaying lactic acid system
- Help improve anaerobic power and lengthen the time in which they can apply maximal power
- Power athletes such as a pole vault, willies ATP-PC system in training, needs lots of creatine
- Creatine can cause muscle cramps, weight gaining can cause heart related disorders such as dehydration
- Power athletes such as a pole vault, willies ATP-PC system in training, needs lots of creatine
- Creatine together with CHO increases PC levels to enhance ATC-PC system
- found in the skeletal muscle and is stored as phosphocreatine
- Protein
- Sportspeople need more protein than a normal person to enable muscle hypertrophy and repair muscles after training
- Most protein supplementation is legal, but can cause liver & kidney damage in excess
- Glutamine commonly used, enhances protein synthesis & enhances glycogen synthesis in recovery muscles
- Sportspeople need more protein than a normal person to enable muscle hypertrophy and repair muscles after training
- Herbal
- Ginseng
- Increase mental alertness, boost energy levels and immune system, increases VO and reduces OBLA
- OBLA stands for Onset of Blood Lactate Accumulation and it is the point during exercise at which lactic acid builds up in your blood and fatigue sets in.
- Increase mental alertness, boost energy levels and immune system, increases VO and reduces OBLA
- Camomile
- Known to reduce stress, support the immune system, promote tissue repair and assist sleeping
- Arnica
- Reduce inflammation, brushing and pain
- Glucosamine
- Reduce joint inflammation and stiffness
- Ginseng
- Bicarbonate of soda
- Bicarbonate loading is where a performer ingests bicarbonate prior to a competition
- Increase plasma bicarbonate, higher concentration of lactate in blood
- Can lead to cramping, vomiting, bloating and diarrhoea
- Bicarbonate loading is where a performer ingests bicarbonate prior to a competition
- Alcohol
- Relaxant in small amount
- Caffeine
