Some people like to drink purified water when exercising, some like to drink tea, and still others like sports drinks. These are fitness drinks that many people have recognized for a long time and are safe and reliable. It seems that these drinks are dispensable. This is an illusion. Don’t be fooled. What you drink during fitness is very important and can even determine your fitness results.
Today I’d like to introduce you to a drink: coffee. When it comes to coffee, the first thing that comes to mind is refreshing. In the process of fitness, it is not just as simple as refreshing, but it can also play a role in increasing muscle strength, which is often called explosive power.
The relationship between coffee and fitness
Coffee has a long history, has miraculous and unique effects, and has a certain degree of addiction. It was once even considered a harmful substance like drugs, and was therefore listed as a banned substance by some social groups and organizations. Up to now, caffeine, the main component of coffee, has been listed as one of the banned substances by the Olympic Committee. Because caffeine can stimulate the central nervous system of the brain, increase the body's metabolism, accelerate the heart rate, allow the body to release greater energy, and also accelerate the recovery of physical strength.
In fact, the drugs listed as banned drugs are not the coffee we usually drink, but "stimulants" produced by mixing extremely high concentrations of caffeine with other substances. A large number of experiments have proven that drinking a cup of coffee before exercising can be more beneficial to exercise and fitness. The effects of caffeine can last for one hour. Within this hour, the human body can lift heavier equipment than usual, which can often help trainers achieve breakthroughs when they encounter a bottleneck. At the same time, caffeine can also promote fat burning and improve the efficiency of weight loss. This has led many famous bodybuilders to like to drink coffee before training. Firstly, it can excite themselves; secondly, it can also promote the body to be in a more ideal state and achieve the maximum fitness effect in a short period of time.
