Caffeine-Enhanced Workout? Since its removal from the banned substances list in 2004 by the World Anti-Doping Agency, caffeine has been used by athletes with the expectancy that it enhances their workout and performance. However, few studies look at the role caffeine plays in sedentary females. Researchers at the University of Western Australia conducted a test in which they determined the rate of energy expenditure (kilojoules) on 10 healthy, sedentary females who were nonregular caffeine users. Each female was randomly assigned either a placebo or caffeine pill (6 mg/kg) 60 minutes prior to exercise. The subject rode an exercise bicycle for 15 minutes at 65% of their maximum heart rate, and the energy expenditure was measured. The process was repeated on a separate day for the remaining treatment. The

The mean difference in energy expenditure (caffeine –placebo) was 18kJ with a standard deviation of 19kJ.

A physiologist, Dr. Castillejo, conducted a research wherein subjects participated in a predetermined exercise run of 1.5 miles. Measurements of oxygen consumption as well as several other variables such as age, gender, runtime, resting and maximum pulse rates, and weight were recorded from 50 randomly selected gym members. Dr. Castillejo is interested in determining whether any of these other variables can help predict oxygen consumption. She believes that a possible link between these factors will help her determine how to improve the health of her gym members. Help Dr. Castillejo in developing a proposal for the improvement of her gym members' health condition.
