Fear not, however, for coffee can stimulate them again. During (26)_ exercise, our muscles tire as they run out of fuel and build up waste products. Muscle performance can also be affected by a (27)_ called "central fatigue,” in which an imbalance in the bodys chemical messengers prevents the central nervous system from directing muscle movements（28)_. It was not known, however, whether central fatigue might also affect motor systems not directly (29)_ in the exercise itself, such as those that move the eyes. To find out, researchers gave 11 volunteer cyclists a carbohydrate (碳水化合物的）(30)_ either with a moderate dose of caffeine (咖啡因)，which is known to stimulate the central nervous system, or as a placebo (安慰剂） without, during 3 hours of (31)_ .
