Abstract: 
Coffee, rich in caffeine, is well-established for its ergogenic effects, which enhance both endurance and strength-based physical performance. Recent studies suggest that Robusta coffee, known for its high antioxidant content, and exercise may influence muscle strength. The purpose of this literature review is to explore the effects of Robusta coffee consumption and exercise on muscle strength levels. A total of 35 research papers published between the years 2019 to 2024 were accessed and used for this review that met the criteria. This review highlights that coffee consumption and exercise may enhance muscle strength and improve muscle health.
