THE EFFECT OF CAFFEINE USE ON PHYSIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE IN WRESTLERS

Abstract

In this review, various effects of caffeine on wrestlers are discussed. Wrestling is the ancestral sport of the Turks, with a history dating back thousands of years, which has survived to the present day with little change. Specializing in this sport based on strength and technique is possible with years of regular training, discipline and nutrition. Especially today, the search for new ergogenic support to meet the performance increase required by athletes continues at a great pace. Although caffeine is one of these ergogenic supplements, it has been included in our lives as an active ingredient of various types of coffee that we frequently encounter in daily life. The effects of caffeine on performance enhancement in various sports have been studied. These effects manifest themselves in different ways due to the wide spectrum of effects caffeine has. As a result, studies show that caffeine consumption has an effect on issues such as increase in muscle strength at different doses, renewal of glycogen stores, and shortening of the regeneration process. With these effects, caffeine can be kept under control by experts and have the effect of increasing performance in wrestlers..

GÜREŞÇİLERDE KAFEİN KULLANIMININ FİZYOLOJİK PERFORMANS ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Abstract

Bu derlemede, kafeinin güreşçiler üzerindeki çeşitli etkileri ele alınmıştır. Güreş, binlerce yıl öncesine dek uzanan geçmişiyle çok az değişikliğe uğrayarak günümüze dek gelmiş olan, Türklerin ata sporudur. Güce ve tekniğe dayanan bu sporda uzmanlaşmak, yıllar süren düzenli antrenman, disiplin ve beslenme ile mümkün olmaktadır. Özellikle günümüzde sporcuların ihtiyaç duydukları performans artışını karşılamak için yeni ergojenik destek arayışları büyük bir hızla devam etmektedir. Kafein, bu ergojenik desteklerden bir tanesi olmakla beraber, gündelik yaşamda sıklıkla karşımıza çıkan çeşitli kahve türlerinin etken bileşeni olarak hayatımıza dahil olmuştur. Kafeinin çeşitli spor dallarındaki performans artışı üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Bu etkiler, kafeinin sahip olduğu geniş etki yelpazesi nedeniyle farklı şekillerde kendilerini göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak yapılan çalışmalar göstermektedir ki, kafein tüketimi farklı dozlarda kas gücünde artış, glikojen depolarının yenilenmesi, yenilenme sürecinin kısalması gibi hususlarda etki göstermektedir. Bu etkileri ile kafein, uzman kişiler tarafından kontrol altında tutularak güreşçilerde performansın artışını sağlayıcı etkiye sahip olabilir.
