The effect of Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus Senticosus) on substrate utilization and performance during prolonged cycling

Article Abstract:

This article examines the relationship between Siberian ginseng supplementation, athletic performance, and body fat utilization in trained male cyclists. Findings indicate that Siberian ginseng does not significantly influence cycling performance or steady-state fat utilization during endurance exercise.

High-fat diet versus habitual diet prior to carbohydrate loading: effects on exercise metabolism and cycling performance

Article Abstract:

This article examines the effects of consuming a high-fat diet for ten days before carbohydrate loading on athletic performance and metabolism during exercise. Findings indicate that carbohydrate loading after maintaining a high-fat diet resulted in improved cycling performance and increased oxidation of body fat and decreased muscle glycogen oxidation during exercise.

Assessment of the effects of Eleutherococcus senticosus on endurance performance

Article Abstract:

The studies that have evaluated the effects of Eleutherococcus senticosus (ES) during endurance exercise are discussed and three studies suggesting that ES substantially improves cardiorespiratory fitness, fat metabolism, and endurance performance are described. It was concluded that ES supplementation did not offer any advantage during exercise ranging in duration from 6 to 120 minutes.
