Epo & Doping - Physiology • Endurance Exercise • RBC mass and plasma volume increases • Hct & Hgb decrease due to expanded plasma volume • By increasing Hgb & Hct • increases O2 carrying capacity • decreases ratings of perceived exertion • increases VO2 Max
Epo - Proven Effects • EPO for 26 days at 50 IU/kg led to • 7% increase in power • 9% increase VO2 Max • Increase Hct • After 6 weeks of EPO - 17% increase in cycling time to exhaustion • IV r-HuEPO works in days

Ephedra -Mechanism of Action • Stimulant that mimics effect Norepi & Epi • Increases fat burning, Heart rate • Thermogenic effect • Increases resting metabolism, calorie expenditure • Causes appetite suppression
Ephedra - Proven Effects • Over 52 studies in literature (Shekelle et al., 2003) • All studies were less than 6 months • Average 1.0kg per month greater than placebo • Doses ranged from 25 to 120mg per day • Dose related effect

Creatine • 1832 Chevreul - Greek word flesh • Made from Arg, Gly, & Meth, 95% - skeletal muscle • CrP + ADP => ATP + Cr, enz = Creatine kinase • Intense exercise ATP used first 10 secs • Also buffers muscle pH - delays muscle fatigue • Over 150 studies done, 93% in the past ten years
Creatine - Proven Effects • Overwhelming evidence Meta-analysis (Nissen et al., 2003) • 1.09% increase in strength per week • Increase 0.36% LBM per week (2.2 kg in 6 weeks) • 15 lbs added to 1RM Bench Press (6 weeks) • 25 lbs added to 1RM Back Squat (6 weeks) • 61 Studies - 45 found to improve endurance performance (running, swimming, rowing, & biking) • Ergogenic effect on repeated high intensity sprints (lasting 30 seconds to 3 minutes)
Creatine - What about longer distances? • Events lasting longer than 3 minutes - 25 studies - 8 found no improvement, 17 did • Improved times in 5M and 15M sprints but slower times in 6K runs (by 26 seconds) • Long distance endurance events - additional muscle mass and water retention may slow athletes down
Creatine - Adverse Effects • KIDNEY ISSUES? • Because creatinine is breakdown product of creatine - concern over kidney function • (Crowe et al., 2003) Four year study, NCAA 3 yr study • No significant adverse effects up to five years after ingesting creatine (Dempsey et al., 2002) • (Eur J of App Physiol 2008 - Gualano et al) Double Blind, Randomized - 3 months • BOTTOM LINE - NO evidence on any effect on kidney function
Creatine - Adverse Effects • Main reported side effect = GI distress • Case reports of muscle cramping, No studies showed increased cramping • No effect on body fluid balance or heat regulation • (2009 - meta-anlysis J Ath Train - Lopez et al. • (Br J Sports Med - 2008 - Dalbo et al) • BOTTOM LINE - No increased risk of dehydration, cramping, or issues with sweating or heat regulation

HMB ß-hydroxy-ß-methylbutyrate • Metabolite of Leucine • Found in catfish, citrus fruit, & breast milk • Believed to preserve LBM during fat loss • Anti-catabolic • 1998 Sales 50-60 Million Dollars
Proven Recovery Effects • (Nissen et al., 1997) - Exercise induced muscle damage after heavy resistance training • 1.5g/day or 3.0g/day - decreased protein breakdown • Increased muscle recovery • (Knitter et al., 2000) - 3g/day HMB for 6 weeks • 20K run - monitored LDH, CPK levels • Statistically significant - LDH & CPK levels post exercise in HMB group
Proven Performance Effects • Meta-analysis (Nissen et al., 2003) of 9 studies • 0.28% increase LBM per week (6-8 weeks) • 1.40% increase in 1RM strength per week • (Nissen et al., 1996) - 1.5g/day and 3.0g/day for 6 weeks, increased strength • (Kreider, 1999) - 3g/day for 8 weeks • Increases in LBM, decreases fat mass • Increases in upper and lower body 1RM strength • (Lamboley, 2007 - Int J Sport Nutr Exerc Metab) - Aerobic training 3/wk x 5 wks (3g/day) - Inc VO2Max 13.4% vs. 8.4% placebo, no change in body comp • (Watson, 2009 - J Str Cond Res) - no side effects • 3 g/day - small increases in 1RM, small decrease in fat mass, small increase in muscle mass The Blond Bomber - Dave Draper
Adverse Effects • No reported side effects from any studies • (Juhn, 2003) - Using HMB for 8 weeks • No change renal fx, LFTs, Lipid panel • (Crowe et al., 2003) - Using HMB for 6 wks • No change in serum Test, BUN, Cr, Chol, TGs
Summary of HMB • Not Banned • Safe at the present • Increases maximal strength • Maintains LBM, Decreases fat mass • Cost - 40$ for 200 pills • 4 pills = 1 gram HMB • Servings 4 pills x 3 times/day = 12 pills daily • 17 day supply • $80 per month
Caffeine • #1 Drug used in the world • 82-92% adults use daily • Methylated xanthine alkaloid derivative • 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine • Metabolized in liver p450 • 3 Main metabolites • Theobromine, theophylline, • Paraxanthine most potent
Caffeine - Mechanism of Action • Structure is similar to adenosine • Binds to adenosine cell membrane receptors • Found everywhere • Stimulates CNS, increases release of Epinephrine • Increases HR, MR, resp center output decreases perceptions of pain, & fatigue • One main effect on performance is by increasing fat oxidation - which spares muscle glycogen
Caffeine - Proven Effects • Effects have been studied for 100 years • Most studies = 2-9mg/kg per day (250-750mg) • (Costill et al., 1978) - 300mg, cycle at 80% VO2 Max until exhaustion • 90.2 minutes vs. 75.5 minutes • Increase max power in cyclists from 904 Watts to 964 Watts (also vs. placebo) • Decrease race times from marathons to short sprints lasting less than 90 seconds (Graham, 2001) • Studies in all three components of triathlon supporting this
Caffeine - Adverse Effects • Anxiety, heart palpitations, trembling, and facial flushing • Dose related • Lethal half-dose of caffeine is 150-200mg/kg bodyweight about 100cups • Tolerance to caffeine appears after 4-5 days • Only takes 3 days of use to develop dependency and withdrawal symptoms after stopping • Mood shifts, headaches, tremors, & fatigue - 12h to 7d
Caffeine - Summary • Banned 1962 IOC • Removed 1972 • Urine 12mcg/ml = 9mg/kg • 6-7 cups = 700-800mg • Proven effects on performance • Because of side effects at higher doses - 3-6mg/kg better • Because of tolerance & withdrawal - better to not take daily, but prior to specific competitions • Definite benefits for triathletes • 2005 IOC Removed completely from banned list • UCI, WADA…
Beta Alanine • ß-alanine is amino acid • Carnosine (ß-alanyl-L-histidine) • Enzyme carnosine synthetase • Frequent sprints • Animal protein • Supplementation can increase beta-alanine by 80% • Chemical buffer in myocytes • Delays fatigue
