Brief Summary:
The purpose of this project is to investigate the effects of caffeine chewing gum on the cognitive functions and special operations capabilities of special forces
Detailed Description:
Using a randomisation crossover design 20-40 active-duty special forces members who had undergone leave and special forces reserve training were divided into a caffeine trial CAF and a placebo trail PL After chewing caffeine-containing gum containing 5 mgkg CAF group or caffeine-free gum PL group for 15 minutes then performed a simple reaction test a stroop test a visual search test a grip strength test a vertical jump test a 20-metre sprint test and a counter-terrorism simulation test A heart rate monitor was used to measure the heart rate and heart rate variability of the participants Saliva samples were collected and analysed for α-Amylase cortisol and caffeine concentrations before the test after a 15-minute break from chewing gum and at the end of the test Completion time of cognitive functions grip strength vertical jump height 20 m sprint time time to completion of the counterterrorism simulation test and target score will be analysed using paired-sample t-tests
