You are correct that caffeine is a methylxanthine and that it blocks adenosine receptors. Caffeine's maximal effects are achieved 30-60 minutes after ingestion, and caffeine is completely cleared from the body within 3-4 hours of consumption. I hope I've answered your question! Have a good day. Ingrid Dodge :) Current Queue | Current Queue for Medicine | Medicine archives Try the links in the MadSci Library for more information on Medicine.

Effect of caffeinated drinks on substrate metabolism, caffeine excretion, and performance. Several studies observed that caffeine (Caf) ingestion improves endurance performance (9, 19, 20, 28, 32, 33).
Explanations are increased lipolysis and fat oxidation and decreased muscle glycogen breakdown (9, 14, 21) in combination with a lessening of the subjective perception of effort (8). Most of these studies examined the ergogenic effects of Caf by measuring performance as the time taken to reach exhaustion at a given power output. This is, however, more a measure of endurance capacity rather than of absolute performance, like the time needed to cover a certain distance.
Only a few studies have examined the effect of Caf on exercise time over a specified distance or on completion of a given amount of work (3, 7, 26). Little is known about the effect on physical performance of Caf added to a solution containing carbohydrates (CHO) (17, 30). A substantial number of studies have been published on the composition of sweat produced during exercise (4). Performance Parameters Fig. 1.

Email: terrygra@uoguelph.ca Abstract This study examined the effect of ingesting caffeine (6 mg kg−1) on muscle carbohydrate and fat metabolism during steady-state exercise in humans. It is clear that caffeine can be employed as an ergogenic agent for a wide range of exercise conditions (Graham, 1997) and it is often proposed that this effect is mediated by enhancing fat oxidation and decreasing carbohydrate use in the active muscles. Caffeine can directly antagonize adenosine receptors in many tissues including tissues in the central nervous and cardiovascular systems and skeletal muscle and adipose tissue.
The finding that caffeine ingestion does not change the RER during exercise means that the combined amount of muscle glycogen and blood glucose oxidized is unaltered. Pre-experimental protocol Experimental protocol Analysis Calculations. Caffeine.
