Caffeine Reduces Muscle Pain During Exercise

A Univesity of Georgia research project demonstrated that caffeine can substantially reduce muscle pain in athletes.

A study conducted by Professor Patrick O'Connor at the Univerity of Georgia in the United States demonstrated that ingesting caffeine approximately 1 hour before strenuous exercise can substantially reduce the amount of muscle pain felt by athletes.

An earlier study by Professor O'Connor found that taking aspirin prior to exercise had no effect on reducing muscle pain, but in this study caffeine did have a pain reducing effect, most likely because it blocks a biochemical known as adenosine that is produced during strenuous exercise.

Volunteers in the study cycled for 30 minutes on two separate days, using a level of exertion designed to make their thighs burn. Cyclists took a caffeine pill or a placebo about one hour before exercising. The caffeine pill users reported substantially less pain then the placebo users.
