Summary

Although the effects of different doses of caffeine on balance have been evaluated in various studies, the effects of low doses of caffeine ingested with Turkish coffee on postural control and hand-eye coordination remain unclear. In this study, it will be investigated the acute effects of 60 mg caffeine intake via Turkish coffee on postural control and hand-eye coordination.

Detailed description

This study is designed as a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental research. The study will be conducted with healthy young adults with low coffee consumption habits. Participants who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will undergo postural control assessment with the Biodex Balance System® and hand-eye coordination test with the Alternate Hand Wall Toss Test. Subjects will be given 65 ml of Turkish coffee (one cup) to ensure oral caffeine intake. The same assessments will be repeated 30 minutes after caffeine intake.

Conditions
