Covers some aspects of fat that may lead to exercise performance. will increase the amount of acetylecholine and reduce fatigue. however, unsure of whether it has any value. Omega-3s: potential for health and potential to effect performance. Increase blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscle: unsure whether it will enhance performance. Increasing carnitine may facilitate fat uptake into mitochondria: lots of carnitine in diet no increase in fat uptake or utilization. because it increases just blood carnitine, not amount in mitochondria y therefore, it doesn t help with exercise performance. Caffeine supplementation: does enhance several types of performance, at one time, it was banned by ioc as a doping agent. people were disqualified if they were caught with metabolites of caffeine in urine: still banned in some other corporations, no longer banned with ioc because it s found in a lot of food products that people consume.
