Most commonly, it is obtained from drinking coffee or tea. As many as half of athletes use coffee for its performance enhancing potential. The effects of caffeine on strength are mixed, with some showing benefits and others not. Similarly, research isn’t clear on whether it improves muscle endurance. The most recent large scale study suggests that it helps with strength and endurance compared to placebo. The effects of caffeine on exercise induced muscle damage (EIMD), of which delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is the most common symptom, are not currently known. Caffeine appears to act as an ergogenic aid via its role as an adenosine agonist and modified pain perception. Caffeine has been shown to reduce pain during cycling and resistance training. The authors of this study wanted to determine the response of injured muscle to caffeine consumption and determine the fatigue resistance of injured muscle after caffeine ingestion.
