About this trial
This study aims to investigate the effects of daily coffee consumption on balance performance in healthy university students. Caffeine is a widely consumed psychoactive substance that may influence neuromuscular control, reaction time, and postural stability. Participants will be categorized based on their habitual caffeine intake levels, and balance performance will be assessed using standardized clinical tests. The results are expected to contribute to the understanding of the relationship between caffeine consumption and balance performance.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Single Leg Stance Test
The Single Leg Stance Test will be used to evaluate static balance. Participants will be asked to stand on one leg for as long as possible without support. The duration will be recorded in seconds.
Time frame
Single assessment at baseline2
Y Balance Test
The Y Balance Test will be used to evaluate dynamic balance. Participants will reach in anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions while maintaining single-leg stance. Reach distances will be measured in centimeters.ere measured in centimeters.
Time frame
Single assessment at baseline3
Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test
The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test will be used to assess functional mobility and dynamic balance. Participants will be instructed to stand up from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn around, walk back, and sit down. The total time to complete the task will be recorded in seconds.
Time frame
Single assessment at baseline4
Tandem Walking Test
The Tandem Walking Test will be used to assess dynamic balance. Participants will be instructed to walk in a heel-to-toe manner along a straight line. Performance will be recorded based on time and/or number of errors.
Time frame
Single assessment at baselineSecondary outcomes
1
Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale
The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale will be used to assess the participant's perceived level of exertion during testing. Participants will rate their effort on a scale ranging from 6 (no exertion) to 20 (maximal exertion).
