What are the Influence of Caffeine and Creatine on Cognitive and Physical Performance in Resistance-Trained Athletes?In a recent study featured in Nutrients, researchers explored the individual and combined effects of caffeine and creatine nitrate on cognitive and exercise performance among resistance-trained athletes. Both caffeine and creatine are known dietary supplements that can enhance training and exercise outcomes.

It also reduces pain perception and enhances neuronal excitability. On the other hand, creatine functions by replenishing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during anaerobic exercise,…

The director of The Zone of Interest accepted his award with an anti-war speech that drew praise and confusion.Rich Polk/Variety/GettyMarch 11, 2024, 12:16 AM ETThe Oscars are not built for somber appeals about current events, though the show has tried in the past to balance celebration with seriousness.

This year, the mission of the Academy Awards was, more than anything, to avoid catastrophe. The most-discussed ceremonies in the last decade have been marked by jaw-dropping viral moments—none of which had much to do with the movies supposedly being celebrated. The wrong Best Picture was announced. Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, then gave a rambling acceptance speech for the Best Actor award. The first Oscars after the start of COVID-19 gambled on ending with one Best Actor win and ended up with another—someone who was at home, and already in bed. Tonight, with multiple giant box office successes like…
