True
False
Ans:-
38.
True,
The given statement, Drinking 2.5 cups of coffee up to 1 hour before exercising often extends endurance in strenuous aerobic exercise is true.
Explanation:-
Caffeines increases alertness and arousal in the body, it is it's main effect on the body due to which workout seem not so bad.
Drinking coffee up to 1 hour before exercising helps in burning fat also due to which workout becomes longer and less painful because during workout muscles use glycogen for energy and when complete glycogen is used by the muscles then muscles get weaker and less efficient and it causes exhaustion but if muscles will burn fat then they will not tire as easily and in this caffeine ( present in coffee) can shift muscles to burn fat more quickly due to which glycogen will preserve and it will give more time to muscles before they exhaust.
And this leads to extend endurance in strenuous aerobic exercise.
