- So-called "boomerang effect" when after inflow of forces at the initial stage of a training, on its termination the increased fatigue is felt can be shown. However, here an essential role is played by intensity of the training.

There is a number of products which can replace coffee as the stimulating drink. Need of such replacement is most often connected with individual rejection of tastes of coffee.
Important! By estimates of researchers, caffeine accelerates metabolism approximately for 3–4% even at the people who are not experiencing physical activities, and at a training this indicator can reach 15%. But such whipping of an organism bears also certain dangers, especially for the people who are already differing in the increased metabolism speed. In this case concerning the use of this product before trainings it is better to consult the doctor.
So, it is possible to replace it with such products:
- strong made classical black tea is also a good stimulator;

Why coffee after the training is impossible
The stimulating effect of drink so desired on the eve of the training is undesirable after its termination when the organism is in wild spirits. In this case whipping of the central nervous system and heart in the new portions of drink not only is excessive, but also can lead further to problems with health.
Whether you know? Coffee without caffeine was invented absolutely accidentally. The vessel transporting in addition and cargo of coffee beans, suffered during a storm, and filled in cargo with sea water. The owner of cargo did not begin to utilize it, and just in case sent samples to a research. As a result it became clear that tastes of a product in general remained, and here the content of caffeine decreased almost to zero. The recipe of a new product was patented by German Ludwig Rozelius who conducted researches of the spoiled cargo.
The cardiovascular system is especially vulnerable to such influence.

Of course, at the same time it is necessary to remember the possible negative effects connected with the excessive use of this product. Besides, there are categories of people for which its negative properties obviously outweigh positive. However this drink will do the vast majority good.
