Acute caffeine mouth rinse does not affect attention and hand-eye coordination in recreationally active adults
Özet
Study aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acute effect of different four caffeine mouth rinse intervention (caffeinated coffee, decaffeinated coffee, placebo. control) on attention and hand-eye coordination.
Material and methods: Sixty-five healthy, recreationally active female (n = 41) (age 22.89 +/- 3.94 years; body mass index 20.87 +/- 2.63 kg/m(2)) and male (n = 24) (age 29.91 +/- 12.06 years; body mass index 22.56 +/- 2.21 kg/m(2)) volunteered to participate in this randomized. single-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study. The Stroop Color-Word Test (SCWT) and Mirror-Tracing Test (MTT) was used. Participants first completed a SCWT or MIT. then rinsed and expectorated 25 ml of caffeinated coffee (containing 0.13% caffeine) or decaffeinated coffee or placebo (water) or control that did not rinse for 10 s, followed by SCWT or MIT again. Data were analyzed using a 4 (mouth rinse interventions) x 2 (pre-test and post-test) repeated measures ANOVA.
Results: SCWT time, MTT draw time and MTT number of error measures were not significantly different between four mouth rinse interventions (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: Caffeinated coffee or decaffeinated coffee mouth rinse for 10 s provided immediately prior to SCWT or MIT did not affect attention and hand-eye coordination.
