just thought i'd get this forum party started that i was reading about.
just 2 to start w/
1) read a study about the use of antioxidants, and specifically in the context of post work out. if i do some digging i may be able to find a citation for the article, but basically it submitted that the use of antioxidants inhibits a process by which free radicals initiate and increase the role of insulin in glucose uptake--the emphasis was based on these impacts as faced by II diabetics. These effects, however, can carry significance for athletes.
2) I don't understand this one, hopefully somebody does---caffeine negates the effects of creatine...how many of us in preparation for a contest use both of these. I cannot find the chemistry behind this or even practical application but some things to think about
a) caffeine tends to exert effects for about 5-10 hours, so could these be used on the same day if spaced properly?
b) when I say "negates the effects creatine" I'm not sure if one of the effects that is negated is in fact the muslce volumizing effect
