    • Effects of C4 on Maximum Testing During Bruce Protocol 

      Patel, Darshan (Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at ArlingtonCardiovascular Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2015)
      INTRODUCTION: The Bruce Protocol is a commonly used test for determining maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). The VO2maxvalue is a measure of an athlete’s aerobic endurance. VO2maxcan be reported in absolute terms (L/min) ...
    • The Effects of Caffeine on a Time-Trial Cycling Performance 

      Tucker, Chris
      Caffeine is one of the most widely consumed drugs in the world. Its mechanism of action has given it credibility as an ergogenic aid. It has been shown to stimulate the mobilization and oxidation of free fatty acids (FFA), ...
    • THE EFFECTS OF CAFFEINE ON MAXIMAL EXERCISE 

      Rey, Amber D.; Romero, Brenda (Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at ArlingtonCardiovascular Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2016)
      Caffeine is classified as an ergogenic and central nervous system stimulant. Research shows that there are benefits of consuming caffeine. These include increased mental alertness, decreased fatigue and increased delay to ...
    • The effects of caffeine on physical performance and preceived exertion in caffeine users and non-caffeine users during resistance training
