About

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.
