Coffee and Exercise
Many of us start their work out in the early
morning so there have been questions as to whether it is okay have a cup
before your work out. There is much research on caffeine and its
effects on the body and there are several benefits that can be gathered
to support that a cup of coffee is beneficial to your work out and
health.
Body Fat Reduction and Coffee
Caffeine has been shown to spare the release of
glycogen, or stored carbohydrates, as a fuel source when taken prior to
exercise. Research supports that caffeine mobilizes stored fatty acids,
which are then used as fuel instead of glycogen. This means that with
the caffeine in your coffee, your body can better endure intense exercise
allowing your work outs to last longer before you run out of fuel and
the more fat that will be burned in the process. Isn’t that the goal of
most workouts? More energy for longer workouts to burn fat and build
muscle for a more defined body.
Another way the caffeine in coffee will help you
loose fat is by blocking adenosine receptors on fat cells. Usually
adenosine blocks fat release and enhances fat storage in adipocytes.
Caffeine blocks this and reverses the process.
Muscle Building Benefits of Coffee
The caffeine in coffee has been shown to act
directly on muscles by triggering an increased calcium ion release from
the sarcoplasmic reticulum. What does this mean to you and me? That in
theory, this will lead to stronger muscle contraction and greater force
production by the muscle. Since your are more alert and active you are
able to press heavier weights or get additional reps to your routine.
And of course, a stronger resistance training leads to stronger and
larger muscles.
Better Mind Focus from Coffee
Caffeine has been shown to block the receptors of
adenosine which is a compound that slows down neuron activity. This will
cause greater focus and productivity during workouts. Keeping us from
straying from the task and from distractions in the gym is always a
benefit for our workouts.
