Full description

Caffeine is a popular nutritional supplement among gym athletes. It is frequently used as an ergogenic aid to improve physical performance, delay fatigue, and increase muscle power. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of caffeine through the blood sample test (Serum CK, LDH levels, AST levels) on muscle damage of gym athletes who are performing aerobic and strength training. This study would help understand the effects of strength training and endurance training on muscle damage in gym athletes who are consuming caffeine and to check the serum enzymes level of both groups who are on strength training and those who are on endurance level training, therefore, this study would help determine which athletes should be careful while consuming caffeine for a particular exercise regimen
