considers the healthy non athlete adult (ie- no cardiovascular problems, not pregnant, etc) who is physically active for health and wellness reasons
It is hypothesized in some studies that caffeine can be used to increase fat metabolism. There is also some evidence that caffeine can have a neural influence improving performance.
This week’s question considers the healthy non athlete adult (ie- no cardiovascular problems, not pregnant, etc) who is physically active for health and wellness reasons. It is divided into two parts:
QUESTIONS: Please note the specific info on dosages. This means info on caffeine intake that is >300mg/day is interesting, but not pertinent to what the questions ask.
PART 1: is there any neural benefit (improved alertness, improved neuromuscular recruitment, etc) for a non athlete to ingest moderate amounts of caffeine prior to and/or during their activities? (consider moderate to be 300 mg or less). Notice specifically the limitations a) neural benefits and b) 300 mg/day or less. Keep in mind that some research reports caffeine intake in relative terms (mg/kg), so you will need to convert this to absolute terms. For example a 6 mg/kg relative dose in a 60 kg subject would be an absolute dose of 360 mg.
PART 2: for the healthy non athlete are there any risk factors for consuming moderate levels of caffeine daily (moderate = 300 mg per day or less).
Key points to remember:
– Part 1 asks about neural benefits
– Both parts asks about non athletes
– Both parts ask about the effects of doses less than 300 mg/day. This means using research that examining the effects of intakes greater than 300 mg/day is not a pertinent for what the questions ask.
