ES-02 Effects of weightlifting while consuming pre workout
Abstract
We studied the effect of caffeine on weight training in the form of pre-workout in a four-week period. When taking in caffeine 30-40 minutes before a workout, you begin to feel more energized for your workout. Once caffeine is taken in, it blocks the release of Phosphodiesterase (PDE). Then there is a breakdown of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).
The primary aim of this study is to examine and determine the advantages and disadvantages of consuming pre-workout before weightlifting the body. The subjects were male and female athletes comparing when they consumed pre-workout and how they felt after no caffeine when they worked out.
Within the four weeks, each participant consumed the same amount of pre-workout. They were aged 18-20 years old and participated in basketball, softball, and baseball at Spartanburg Methodist College. The biological and anatomical differences between the contestants were also taken into consideration during the experiment.
Throughout the experiment, the participants were asked to rate their feelings after working out with and without pre-workout on a scale of 1-10. The results reflected that most contestants said they felt better after taking pre-workout and their recovery time from the workout was shorter. Without the pre-workout, the contestants had a longer recovery time, less energy, and felt sluggish.
In conclusion, we found that when taking pre-workout our participant’s performance in weightlifting improved. Not only were they stronger physically but they were more alert, focused, and awake. They were able to work out for longer time intervals and had better results.
