Placebo Effect in Supplements
How can you run faster? Just imagine you're getting a boost
Peta Bee
The key to faster running could be all in the mind, according to a study commissioned by the American Council on Exercise. Dr John Pocari, an exercise physiologist at the University of Wisconsin, measured what happens when runners think they are getting a boost from “super-oxygenated” water. His subjects ran three 5km time-trials, with half the group drinking a glass of plain bottled water and half taking what they thought was super-oxygenated water (but was, in fact, tap water) before they started. The latter group covered the distance 83 seconds faster, on average. Heart rate and blood lactate levels were the same between the groups, leading researchers to conclude that the mind plays a powerful role in helping athletes to improve. - 06-01-2006, 02:54 PM
