Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Caffeine crash is a condition in which fatigue and reduced concentration occur as caffeine levels in the body decrease, typically about 12 hours after caffeine intake. Previous studies have suggested that aerobic exercise performed approximately 12 hours after caffeine consumption may reduce caffeine crash symptoms. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of 10 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on caffeine crash symptoms by comparing a group that performs aerobic exercise with a group that does not.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The following assessments will be conducted approximately 12 hours after caffeine intake. In the aerobic exercise group, participants will be evaluated after completing 10 to 15 minutes of aerobic exercise. In the non-exercise group, participants will be evaluated immediately 12 hours after caffeine intake.
Outcome measures: Subjective fatigue will be assessed using a questionnaire, and cognitive function will be evaluated using the Stroop test.

Interventions/Control_1

Participants will consume 1.5 mg of caffeine per kilogram of body weight (instant coffee) at 8:00 a.m. The intervention will be administered once daily. In the non-exercise group, assessments will be conducted 12 hours after caffeine ingestion without performing aerobic exercise.



Interventions/Control_2

Participants will consume 1.5 mg of caffeine per kilogram of body weight in the form of instant coffee at 8:00 a.m. Caffeine will be administered once per day.

In the aerobic exercise group, participants will perform 10 to 15 minutes of aerobic exercise 12 hours after caffeine ingestion, followed by the assessment.
