Effects of acute carbohydrate ingestion on anaerobic exercise performance Abstract Background: Carbohydrate (CHO) supplementation during endurance exercises has been shown to increase performance, but there is limited research with CHO supplementation during strength and conditioning exercises. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of various levels of CHO ingestion during acute testing sessions requiring participants ...

Effects of a pre-workout supplement on hyperemia following leg extension resistance exercise to failure with different resistance loads Abstract Background: We sought to determine if a pre-workout supplement (PWS), containing multiple ingredients thought to enhance blood flow, increases hyperemia associated with resistance training compared to placebo (PBO). Given the potential interaction with training loads/time-under-tension, we evaluated ...

Carbohydrate Nutrition and Team Sport Performance Abstract The common pattern of play in ‘team sports’ is  ‘stop and go’, i.e. where players perform repeated bouts of  brief high-intensity exercise punctuated by lower intensity activity. Sprints are generally 2–4 s long and recovery between sprints is of variable length. Energy production during brief sprints is derived from the degradation of intra-muscular phosphocreatine and ...
