Nine healthy endurance-trained males were recruited to examine the effect of a dual dopamine/noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor on performance, thermoregulation and hormonal responses exercise. Subjects performed four trials, ingesting either placebo (pla) or 2 x 300 mg bupropion (bup), prior exercise in temperate (18 degrees C) warm (30 conditions. Trials consisted 60 min cycle at 55% W(max) immediately followed by time trial (TT). TT performance heat was significantly improved (pla: 39.8 +/-...
Introduction: Acute bupropion (dopamine/noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor) administration significantly improved time trial performance and increased core temperature in the heat (30°C). Purpose: The present study was performed to examine effect of a dopaminergic inhibitor on exercise capacity thermoregulation during prolonged temperate warm conditions. Methods: Eight healthy well-trained male cyclists participated this study. Subjects ingested either placebo (PLA; 20 mg) or methylphenidate...
In this work, whether a two-bout exercise protocol can be used to make an objective, immediately available distinction between non-functional over reaching (NFO) and overtraining syndrome (OTS) was studied.Underperforming athletes who were diagnosed with the suspicion of NFO or OTS included in study. Recovery monitored by sports physician retrospectively distinguish from OTS.Sports medicine laboratoryThe started completed 10 underperforming athletes. five athletes, athletes.A maximal measure...
Caffeine can improve exercise performance when it is ingested at moderate doses (3-6 mg/kg body mass). also has an effect on the central nervous system (CNS), and now recognized that most of performance-enhancing caffeine accomplished through antagonism adenosine receptors, influencing dopaminergic other neurotransmitter systems. Adenosine dopamine interact in brain, this might be one mechanism to explain how important components motivation (i.e. vigor, persistence work output) higher-order...
In June 2017 a group of experts in anthropology, biology, kinesiology, neuroscience, physiology, and psychology convened Canterbury, UK, to address questions relating the placebo effect sport exercise. The event was supported exclusively by Quality Related (QR) funding from Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). funder did not influence content or conclusions group. No competing interests were declared any delegate. During meeting follow-up correspondence, all delegates agreed...
Mental fatigue is a psychobiological state caused by prolonged periods of demanding cognitive activity and has been observed to decrease time trial (TT) endurance performance ∼3.5% in normal ambient temperatures. Recently, it suggested that heat may augment the negative effect mental on performance, raising question whether also amplify TT performance.In 30°C 30% relative humidity, 10 endurance-trained male athletes (mean ± SD; age = 22 3 yr, Wmax 332 41 W) completed two experimental...
