Caffeine Helps Muscle Produce More Force
A new study to be presented at the Society for Experimental Biology meeting on 30th June has shown that caffeine boosts power in older muscles, suggesting the stimulant could aid elderly people to maintain their strength, reducing the incidence of falls and injuries.
For adults in their prime, caffeine helps muscles to produce more force. But as we age, our muscles naturally change and become weaker.

MY COMMENT: Just one more in a line of many caffeine studies that demonstrate performance enhancement.
