Effect of coffee nutraceutical components and caffeine on energy regulation and exercise performance

Abstract

Coffee, which is one of the most consumed beverages in the world, is a functional product that is effective on metabolism with its nutraceutical components, antioxidants, and caffeine. Caffeine, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, and ferulic acid, which are the components of coffee, have effects such as reducing the risk of depression, providing alertness, improving emotions, and mood. With its high caffeine content, coffee is also used as an appetite suppressant in treating obesity with its thermogenic feature. Caffeine is considered an ergogenic support source for athletes due to the biochemical mechanisms it creates in the body. This review explains coffee nutraceutical components and their effects on the metabolic effect of caffeine, energy regulation, and exercise performance.

Kahve nutrasötik bileşenlerinin ve kafeinin enerji regülasyonu ve egzersiz performansı üzerine etkisi

Öz

Dünyada en çok tüketilen içeceklerin başında gelmekte olan kahve, içerdiği nutrasötik bileşenler, antioksidanlar ve kafein ile metabolizma üzerinde etkili fonksiyonel bir üründür. Kahve bileşenlerinden kafein, kafeik asit, klorojenik asit ve ferulik asidin depresyonu azaltma, uyanıklığı sağlama, duygu ve ruh halini iyileştirme gibi etkileri bulunmaktadır. Yüksek kafein içeriğine sahip kahve termojenik özelliği ile obezite tedavisinde iştahı bastırıcı olarak da kullanılmaktadır. Kafein, vücutta oluşturduğu biyokimyasal mekanizmalar sonucunda sporcular için bir ergojenik destek kaynağı sayılmaktadır. Bu derlemede, kahve nutrasötik bileşenleri ve kafeinin metabolik etkisi, enerji regülasyonu ve egzersiz performansı üzerine olan etkileri açıklanmaktadır.
