A study read out at the American Society of experimental biology shows that drinking coffee can increase muscle strength and reduce the chance of falling in the elderly Exercise scientists at the University of Coventry in the UK chose mice to test whether caffeine can enhance muscle strength in the elderly To study the effect of caffeine on muscle strength, the researchers classified muscle types in mice by age The results show that caffeine can enhance the muscle strength of two different skeletal muscles in mice, but this effect is not shown in young mice, but in older mice Jason Talis, the study's author, believes that caffeine has a beneficial effect on muscle strength in the elderly, so it can be consumed in moderation It's better not to consume more than 250 milligrams of caffeine per day, equivalent to 2 cups of coffee.
