The Short Term Effects Of L-Arginine On Blood Lactate Levels And Performance During Submaximal Exercise, Evelyn Wong, Victoria Carter
The Short Term Effects Of L-Arginine On Blood Lactate Levels And Performance During Submaximal Exercise, Evelyn Wong, Victoria Carter
Kinesiology Student Research
INTRODUCTION: L-arginine is a non-essential amino acid that is precursor to synthesizing Nitric Oxide (NO). It is responsible for regulating blood pressure and improving exercise efficiency and tolerance, along with improvement in vasodilation. Thus it optimizes blood flow. Increased blood flow to active muscles increases substrate utilization to improve muscle recovery and protein synthesis during and after exercise. This allows for greater removal of metabolites lactate and ammonia that are related to muscle fatigue which inhibit exercise performance. Studies have shown that L-arginine supplementation has been a beneficial treatment for individuals that have hypertension, chronic heart failure, type 2 diabetes, …

The Ergogenic Effects Of Caffeine On Submaximal Exercise, Matthew Kellner, Angel Gallardo
Kinesiology Student Research
INTRODUCTION: Caffeine is a very abundant substance in society and is commonly found in coffee, tea, soft drinks, pre-workout drinks, and many others. This substance is a central nervous system stimulator which was found to improve wakefulness, thought processes, focus, and coordination. This has been used both medically and in the general public for these desirable psychological and physiological effects. Caffeine is one of the most popular substances when it comes to athletic performance enhancement and has been used for many years. The effects of caffeine on the human body has been studied thoroughly and shows that it does has …
Effects Of Glucose Supplementation And Submaximal Exercise On Short-Term Memory Recall, Insaf Abughoush, Jane Cloud
Effects Of Glucose Supplementation And Submaximal Exercise On Short-Term Memory Recall, Insaf Abughoush, Jane Cloud
Kinesiology Student Research
INTRODUCTION: Short-term memory recall is the ability to hold a limited amount of information easily accessible by the brain. Research has shown the positive trends of increased memory through aerobic exercise and regular blood glucose levels in separate studies. Reasons for increased memory from exercise and glucose include building stronger synapses which allows for increased communication between the hippocampus and cortical brain regions and glucose is the primary energy source of the brain. PURPOSE: The purpose of this research study was to find how glucose supplementation and submaximal exercise affects short-term memory recall. METHODS: Five female college students (age 21.75 …
