If you're looking to maximize the amount of fat burned in your next workout, think about having a coffee half an hour before you get started – as a new study suggests it can make a significant difference to fat burning, especially later on in the day.
如果你希望下一次鍛煉時最大化地提高脂肪燃燒量,不妨考慮在運動前半小時喝杯咖啡——因為有新研究表明,它可以使脂肪燃燒量明顯變化,尤其是在下午。
Researchers found that 3 milligrams of caffeine per kilogram of body weight can boost the rate of fat burning during aerobic exercise, based on results gathered from 15 male volunteers.
研究人員收集了15名男性志愿者的數(shù)據(jù)后發(fā)現(xiàn),如果按每公斤體重3毫克的量來攝入咖啡因,就可以提高有氧運動中的脂肪燃燒速度。
The coffee dose was shown to increase maximal fat oxidation rate (a measure of how efficiently the body burns off fat) by an average of 10.7% in the morning and 29% in the afternoon.
研究表明,咖啡可以增加最大脂肪氧化率,上午平均增加10.7%,下午增加29%。
"Overall, these results suggest that a combination of acute caffeine intake and exercise at moderate intensity in the afternoon provides the best scenario for individuals seeking to increase whole-body fat oxidation during aerobic exercise," the researchers conclude.
研究人員總結道:“總體來說,研究結果表明,急性咖啡因攝入和下午中等強度的運動相結合,為那些希望在有氧運動中加速全身脂肪燃燒的人提供了最佳方案。”
