Caffeine Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effects of Caffeine Supplementation on Motivation, Affect and Performance in Physical Exercise Tests: An Intervention Study
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the influence of caffeine intake on participants' energetic arousal, affect, motivation to achieve a training goal, satisfaction with training, and the sense of agency during training. Consequently, participants will engage in three sessions: caffeine, placebo, and no substance (in counterbalanced order). During each session, their affective and motivational states will be assessed, along with the performance of a standardized physical exercise test. The investigators hypothesize that participants who consume caffeine (caffeine condition) will exhibit higher levels of energy and motivation compared to the other two groups. Additionally, they are expected to experience greater optimism and expectancy regarding their training goals and achieve better results in the physical exercise test. A secondary aim of the study is to examine the impact of genetic variability on motivational and affective states of participants, as well as their performance in the physical exercise test after caffeine. The investigators will assess the CYP1A2 (-163C > A, rs762551; characterized such as "fast" (AA genotype) and "slow" caffeine metabolizers (C-carriers)) and ADORA2A (1976T > C; rs5751876; characterized by "high" (TT genotype) or "low" sensitivity to caffeine (C-carriers)).

Primary | Energetic arousal pre-test | Self-reported energetic arousal contrasting vigour with fatigue, measured with the energetic arousal sub-scale of the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology Mood Adjective Checklist. The values range from 1-4; higher scores indicate greater energetic arousal. | Right before the intervention | |
Primary | Energetic arousal post-test | Self-reported energetic arousal measured with the energetic arousal sub-scale of the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology Mood Adjective Checklist. The values range from 1-4; higher scores indicate greater energetic arousal. The change relative to the pre-test will be analyzed. | 60 minutes after taking the capsule (waiting in the no-intervention condition); before training | |
