5 reasons to drink coffee before your workout

By Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD Published June 24, 2014

Half of Americans start their day with coffee, and according to recent study, working out after downing a cup of java may offer a weight loss advantage. The Spanish study, published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, found that trained athletes who took in caffeine pre-exercise burned about 15 percent more calories for three hours post-exercise, compared to those who ingested a placebo. The dose that triggered the effect was 4.5 mg of caffeine per kilogram of body weight. For 150-pound woman (68 kg), that’s roughly 300 mg of caffeine, the amount in about 12 ounces of brewed coffee, a quantity you may already be sipping each morning.

If you’ve always thought of coffee as a vice—one you’re simply not willing to give up—you’ll be happy to know that it’s actually a secret superfood. And if you exercise, caffeine can offer even more functional benefits for your workouts. Here are five more reasons to enjoy it as part of an active lifestyle, along with five “rules” for getting your fix healthfully.

Improved circulation
Recent Japanese research studied the effects of coffee on circulation in people who were not regular coffee drinkers. Each participant drank a 5-ounce cup of either regular or decaffeinated coffee. Afterward, scientists gauged finger blood flow, a measure of how well the body’s smaller blood vessels work. Those who downed “regular” (caffeinated) coffee experienced a 30 percent increase in blood flow over a 75-minute period, compared to those who drank the “unleaded” (decaf) version. Better circulation, better workout—your muscles need oxygen!

Less pain
Scientists at the University of Illinois found that consuming the caffeine equivalent of two to three cups of coffee one hour before a 30-minute bout of high-intensity exercise reduced perceived muscle pain. The conclusion: caffeine may help you push just a little bit harder during strength-training workouts, resulting in better improvements in muscle strength and/or endurance.

Better memory
A study published this year from Johns Hopkins University found that caffeine enhances memory up to 24 hours after it’s consumed. Researchers gave people who did not regularly consume caffeine either a placebo, or 200 mg of caffeine five minutes after studying a series of images. The next day, both groups were asked to remember the images, and the caffeinated group scored significantly better. This brain boost may be a real boon during workouts, especially when they entail needing to recall specific exercises or routines.

Muscle preservation
In an animal study, sports scientists at Coventry University found that caffeine helped offset the loss of muscle strength that occurs with aging. The protective effects were seen in both the diaphragm, the primary muscle used for breathing, as well as skeletal muscle. The results indicate that in moderation, caffeine may help preserve overall fitness and reduce the risk of age-related injuries.

More muscle fuel
A recent study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that a little caffeine post-exercise may also be beneficial, particularly for endurance athletes who perform day after day. The research found that compared to consuming carbohydrates alone, a caffeine/carb combo resulted in a 66 percent increase in muscle glycogen four hours after intense, glycogen-depleting exercise. Glycogen, the form of carbohydrate that gets stockpiled in muscle, serves as a vital energy “piggy bank” during exercise, to power strength moves, and fuel endurance. Packing a greater reserve means that the very next time you work out, you’ve upped your ability to exercise harder and/or longer.

But this news doesn’t mean you should down as much coffee as possible—your good intentions may backfire. In my work with athletes, I recommend five basic rules to best reap caffeine’s rewards:

• Don’t overdo it. The maximum amount of caffeine recommended for enhancing performance with minimal side effects is up to 6 mg per kg body weight, which is about 400 mg per day (or about 16 ounces of coffee) for a 150-pound woman.

• Incorporate it in healthy ways: doctor up coffee with almond milk and cinnamon instead of cream and sugar, or whip coffee or tea into a fruit smoothie, along with other nutrient-rich ingredients like almond butter and oats or quinoa.

• Be consistent with your intake. Research shows that when your caffeine intake is steady, your body adjusts, which counters dehydration, even though caffeine is a natural diuretic. In other words, don’t reach for two cups one day and four the next.

• Nix caffeine at least six hours before bed to prevent sleep interference, and listen to your body. If you’re relying on caffeine as an energy booster because you’re tired, get to the root of what’s causing fatigue. Perhaps it’s too little sleep, overexercising, or an inadequate diet. If something’s off kilter, you won’t see progress, and you’ll likely get weaker rather than stronger. Striving for balance is always key!

'이스트웨스트 링크' 1단계와 2단계 사업 노선도

Victoria shortlists two consortia for East West Link

Maggie Lu Yueyang  | 23 Jun, 3:51 PM  | 

The Victorian government has shortlisted two consortia to bid for the eastern section of the East West Link project in Melbourne while Momentum Infrastructure, led by the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ and Leighton Holdings, has been ruled out of the bidding race.

The decision is a setback for Leighton's John Holland business and comes after Leighton said earlier this month it is considering divesting some of its businesses as it focuses on strengthening its balance sheet.

East West Connect and Inner Link have been shortlisted to build and operate the first stage of the East West Link, said Treasurer Michael O’Brien and Roads Minister Terry Mulder in a statement on Monday.

Consortium East West Connect is comprised of Lend Lease, Capella Capital, Acciona Infrastructure, Bouygues Travaux Publics and Bouygues Construction, while rival Inner Link is backed by Ferrovial Agroman and its financing arm, Cintra, Samsung C&T Corp, Italian tunneling expert Ghella, Uberior Infrastructure Investments, Transfield Services and Macquarie Capital.

“The Coalition Government is on track to announce the successful tenderer in October, with construction to commence in late 2014,” Mr Mulder said.

 
The link is a proposed 18 kilometre tolled connection between Melbourne's western suburbs and Eastern Freeway, with the first stage comprising a tunnel of over 4 kilometres estimated to cost as much as $8 billion.

[Details on the three shortlisted bidders]

Inner Link Group
The Inner Link Group Consortium comprises Cintra Infraestructuras S.A, Retail Employees Superannuation, Samsung C&T Corporation, Ferrovial Agroman (Australia), Ghella, Transfield Services (Australia), and Macquarie Capital (Australia) Pty Ltd. The group has been involved in significant local and international projects including 407ETR (Canada); EastLink (Melbourne); Incheon Bridge (South Korea) and Legacy Way (Brisbane).

East West Connect
The East West Connect Consortium comprises Capella Capital, Lend Lease, Acciona and Bouygues. Members have experience in significant projects both in Australian and overseas, including Legacy Way (Brisbane), Pajares Tunnel (Spain), Peninsula Link (Melbourne) and Port of Miami Tunnel (Miami).

Flight of Refugees Across Wrecked Bridge in Korea,Dec.1950

6.25 전쟁의 참상을 실감나게 담아낸 끊어진 평양철교 위의 피난민들

1950년, 압록강까지 북진했던 유엔군은 중공군의 참전으로 남으로 퇴각했고 유엔군의 퇴각과 동시에 수많은 피난 인파가 폭격으로 끊어진 다리로 몰려 들었다. 사진을 찍은 당시 AP통신 막스 데스퍼 기자는 그날의 광경을 이렇게 전했다고 한다.

"내가 비록 전쟁에 강해져 있지만 이 광경은 지금까지 내가 보아 온 것들 중에서 가장 비참한 장면이었다."

Flight of Refugees Across Wrecked Bridge in Korea is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph by Associated Press photographer Max Desfor, taken on December 4, 1950, at a destroyed bridge over the Taedong River near Pyongyang, North Korea. Desfor was covering the Korean War at the time.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way high above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can't I?

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
