Balanced

This study aims to investigate the effects of daily coffee consumption on balance performance in healthy university students. Caffeine is a widely consumed psychoactive substance that may influence neuromuscular control, reaction time, and postural stability. Participants will be categorized based on their habitual caffeine intake levels, and balance performance will be assessed using standardized clinical tests. The results are expected to contribute to the understanding of the relationship between caffeine consumption and balance performance.

Ankle injuries are among the most common musculoskeletal injuries, affecting both athletes and the general population. Various methods are used to prevent such injuries, but the effectiveness of different kinesio taping applications on joint position sense and balance remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of different kinesio taping techniques on proprioception and postural stability in healthy young adults. By identifying changes in balance and proprioception before injuries occur, the findings may provide clinical insights into the potential role of kinesio taping in rehabilitation and injury prevention.
