Effective nutritional ergogenic aids

Article Abstract:

Nutritional ergogenic aids are used by athletes at all levels for enhancement of performance, but research on the safety of many of them is not yet extensive enough to justify their use. The amounts consumed are often far greater than could be consumed by eating food. There are three ways to evaluate the claims of performance enhancement and of safety. Ethical and legal ramifications, especially relative to the Intnl. Olympic Committee, are important. For caffeine, only males have been research subjects. Its diuretic effects must be kept in mind, especially by older athletes. Such aids take in a broad range of substances, some standard, such as carbohydrate and protein, and some less so, such as sodium bicarbonate and creatine. They can be placed in four categories. Nutritional ergogenic aids are listed and information on regimens is given.

Caffeine, Phosphocreatine, Sodium bicarbonate
