Abstract

The negative control values are as follows: 28.6172 mV for maximum contraction, 15.9464 mV for force mean, and 451 s for fatigue time. Since the negative control was not treated with Cobra energy drink, the values obtained for the negative control are considered normal values. According to Giles et al.,[1] the intake of taurine opposed the effects of caffeine on mood, including reducing feelings of vigor and increasing caffeine withdrawal symptoms. [...]when taking energy drinks, taurine helps balance the effect of caffeine. [...]ginseng aids in the protection of muscles from exercise-induced oxidative stress.
