Green Tea Lipids + Statins, PWO CHO + Glycogen, Visceral Fat, Heart Health + Anthrax - Research Update July '17

Written by | published on

Matcha releases more antioxidants than tea leaves (Fujioka. 2016). Only recently, you've read the "Caffeine June 2017 Research Update" [ (re-)read it ] here at the SuppVersity . Some of the effects of green tea have thus already been discussed. After all, caffeine is one of the health-relevant ingredients of tea; it is, however, not the most important one. As Yuan Fen et al. explain in their latest meta-analysis of the effects of green tea on blood lipids, tea can be classified as green tea, oolong tea or black tea depending on the manufacturing process" (Fen 2017). What exactly it is that mediates the various health benefits of tea (inflammation, hypertension/heart disease, and cancer | Serafini 2011) and their potency may thus differ slightly from tea to tea.

Low(er) Carb Crossfitters May be Missing Out | 11.1% vs. 4% Rep Increase With 6-8g/kg CHO in 12-Min Rohoi Benchmark

If there's one thing all crossfit WODs have in common it's their profoundly anaerobic, meaning glucose burning, nature I don't care if you love or hate Crossfit. Why's that? "Liking" has nothing to do with science and science tells us that CrossFit is a highly demanding continuously glycogenolytic workout. In other words: while you will be burning fat, as well, the Crossfit workouts are mainly powered by glucose / glycogen. Accordingly, scientists from the University of New Mexico , the California State and the Kennesaw State University speculated that with glucose / glycogen being the main energy resource crossfitters are using, adequate (or high) carbohydrate intakes may be "even more crucial to performance" for crossfitters than it is for other athletes.

Post-Workout Coffee Boosts Glycogen Repletion by Up to 30% and May Even Have Sign. Glucose Partitioning Effects

Written by | published on

Yes, I do suggest that it may be beneficial to drink these two and another two cups of coffee w/ lots of sugar after your workout - if you are an athlete, at least. A delicious and refreshing pre-workout coffee or just plain caffeine from pre-workouts are probably on the supplement list of most of the SuppVersity  readers. Whether the same is the case for a post-workout coffee, let alone caffeine tablets, though, is questionable. Just as questionable, as the common belief that you better stay away from coffee at any time after your workouts, by the way. If you look at the existing literature, the effects of post-workout caffeine ingestion are not exactly an intensely researched area. And still, the evidence does more or less strongly support the notion that a post-workout coffee could be as beneficial as its pre-workout analog - in a different area. You can learn more about coffee at the SuppVersity Remember: With Coffee More Won't Help More Coffee - The Good, Bad...

Nitrate for Muscle+Brain Performance | Walking for Glucose Management | Full Glycogen Stores W/Out Excessive Water Retention | 5x10, 10x10, Cardio How mTOR and Co Respond

If Yap et al. were right and only continuous and not accumulative physical activity mattered, activity trackers like the this would be useless. No one needs a device to remind him of the 30 min of brisk walking he did / skipped today. In today's installment of SuppVersity " On Short Notice ", we're going to take a closer look at a selection of recent papers from the European Journal of Applied Physiology . To be more specific, I will discuss the physiological and psychological effects of dietary nitrate and their potential significance for team athletes. From there we're taking a detour to glycogen resynthesis and its interaction with hydration - a topic that may be highly relevant for bodybuilders and at least interesting for everyone else. Before we then take a departing look at the differential effects of 5x10, 10x10 and endurance exercise on markers of protein synthesis and glucose uptake, we'll spend briefly review the claim that the cumulative physic...
