Evaluating Research Quality
Evaluating Research Quality
CHARACTERITICS OF BAD CLAIMS:
Misrepresenting clinical studies
Research taken out of context
Omitting relevant facts
Unreliable testimonials & purchased
endorsements
Patent misrepresentation
Erroneous assertions
Lightsey, D. (2006). Muscle, Speed and Lies.
Research has focused on endurance
sports
Extends performance
Mechanism remains unclear
Well trained athletes appear to do the best
New research shows it can trigger the
release of epinephrine strength
Amount needed for enhanced
performance equivalent to about 2 cups of
coffee
Caffeine
Caffeine
Position Statement of the American Dietetic Association, Dietitians of Canada, and the American
College of Medicine : Nutrition and Athletic Performance. Journal of American Dietetic
Association, (2009).
Monitor for side effects like increased
heart rate, nervousness and GI
problems if not a regular user
Controlled substance be careful with
use at collegiate levels (> 15 mcg)
Avoid caffeine pills in excess
Caffeine
Caffeine
Creatine
Creatine
Found in small amounts in meat and fish
Helps to replenish ATP reserves in the
muscles
Appears to be safe AND effective
Aids in recovery from weight training
Can train harder
Absorption enhanced with carbohydrate
intake
Position Statement of the American Dietetic Association, Dietitians of Canada, and the American College of
Medicine : Nutrition and Athletic Performance. Journal of American Dietetic Association, (2009).
Creatine
Creatine
Typical dose : 5 grams a day for a loading
phase, then 2-5 grams daily afterwards can
cycle the product too (3 week retention rate)
Gain of .5 to 1.0 kg during loading phase
ACSM recommends that it is not used by
children under the age of 18
Also not recommended for endurance athletes
Weight gain

Beta Alanine
Beta Alanine
Touted as the next creatine
Non-essential amino acid
Substrate for carnosine
Acts as a buffering agent for lactic acid
Proposed to dampen the burn
Amounts studied range from 3.2 6.4 g/day

Beta Alanine
Beta Alanine
Promising research more needed on
safety
Improved cycling performance and time to
exhaustion in women (Stout, 2007)

Methylbutyrate
Methylbutyrate
(HMB)
(HMB)
A breakdown product of the amino
acid leucine
Proposed to be anti-catabolic
Studies show there are few benefits to
well-trained athletes
3 g per day had on no effect on
muscular strength and body comp in
college football players (Ranson, 2003)
Kleiner, S. (2007). Power Eating.
Coleman, E. (2008). Diet, Exercise and Fitness.
Glutamine
Glutamine
Most abundant amino acid in the body
Deficiency of glutamine promotes muscle
breakdown
Enhance immune function and prevent
infection?
Evidence showing that GLUTAMINE:
Can spare protein
Stimulate glycogen formation
Enhance protein synthesis
Fragakis,A. (2003).The Health Professionals Guide to Popular Dietary Supplements.
Rec. dose 5 15
grams/day
Coleman, E. (2008). Diet, Exercise and Fitness.
Amino acid
Typically in supplements as arginine alpha-
ketoglutarate
Strength trainers use it to increase growth
hormone secretion and to help nitric oxide
(NO) synthesis
NO acts as a vasodilator therefore
supposedly improves blood flow to muscles
Little scientific support
Also difficult to measure NO levels in muscles as it is
highly reactive gas
Arginine
Arginine
Quercetin
Quercetin
Plant derived flavonoid - found naturally
in red onions, apple skins
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
properties
Has been promoted as being effective against a wide
variety of diseases, including cancer. While some early lab
results appear promising, as of yet there is no reliable
clinical evidence that quercetin can prevent or treat cancer
in humans." American Cancer Society
Increased endurance in mice and caused
more mitochondria to grow

mitochondrial biogenesis and exercise tolerance. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol.
Fat Burners
Fat Burners
Used to try to obtain a quick fix
Diuretics promote water losses
Abuse or misuse can lead to dehydration
Ephedra supplements used to increase
thermongenesis
Banned in 2004
Ephedra free does not mean stimulant free
Caffeine levels, or other additives, may be
increased
Fat Burners
Fat Burners
Green tea extracts promote thermogenesis
Contain EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) as well
which can boost norepinephrine levels
EGCG and caffeine increased energy expenditure
by 80 kcal/d (Dullo, 1999)
Targets abdominal fat perhaps
Reports of acute liver toxicity more research is
needed
Green tea more helpful for nutrient content than
fat burning
Coleman, E. (2008). Diet, Exercise and Fitness.
Weight Gainers / Protein Powders
Weight Gainers / Protein Powders
Helpful in increasing calories
Can aid in recovery
Liquid meals easier to consume
Combine calories with resistance
training and rest
Benefit is more the result of
convenience vs. nutrition superiority
No evidence that any type of protein
superior to another (whey, casein,etc.)
Position Statement of the American Dietetic Association, Dietitians of Canada, and the American
College of Medicine : Nutrition and Athletic Performance. Journal of American Dietetic
Association, (2009).
Very appealing to athletes
25 grams of carbs/8 oz
serving, along with the caffeine
Consumed prior to exercise can
lead to GI distress
No evidence that taurine
enhances exercise performance
Not a good recovery beverage
either
Stimulants a concern
