Dietary supplements to enhance exercise and athletic performance come in a variety of forms, including tablets, capsules, liquids, powders, and bars. Many of these products contain numerous ingredients in varied combinations and amounts. Among the more common ingredients are amino acids, protein, creatine, and caffeine
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

| Strength Training with Caffeine | Other | The intervention protocol consists of 5 types of strength training exercises. The following exercises will be performed for the strength training group:
Strength training would be performed in 3 sets of 10 repetitions with 2 minutes of rest between each exercise. This protocol will be performed in a 30-40-minute session. 10-15 minutes of light warm-up activities will be performed before the start of each exercise session. The intervention sessions would be carried out with a 3-5-day gap between the two intervention sessions. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Serum CK Levels | Serum CK level is the amount of an enzyme called creatine kinase (CK) in the blood. CK is a type of protein present in the muscle cells in human body need which is essential for proper functioning. Levels of CK can rise after a heart attack, skeletal muscle injury, or strenuous exercise | Pre-intervention, after 24 hours of the intervention, after 3 days before second intervention, and after 24 hours of the second intervention |
| Serum LDH levels | Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) is enzyme found in almost every cell of the human body, including your blood, muscles, brain, kidneys, and pancreas. | Pre-intervention, after 24 hours of the intervention, after 3 days before second intervention, and after 24 hours of the second intervention |
| Serum AST levels | Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are enzymes found mainly in the liver, but also found in red blood cells, heart cells, muscle tissue and other organs, such as the pancreas and kidneys. | Pre-intervention, after 24 hours of the intervention, after 3 days before second intervention, and after 24 hours of the second intervention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Rating of fatigue scale/Numeric Rating Scale-Fatigue | This rating-of-fatigue (ROF) scale has been developed which can track the intensity of perceived fatigue in a variety of contexts. | Pre-intervention, after 24 hours of the intervention, after 3 days before second intervention, and after 24 hours of the second intervention |
