Sensitivity to Change in Cognitive Performance and Mood of Energy and Fatigue in Response to Differing Doses of Caffeine or Breakfast
Journal Article 2009
The mood and cognitive measurers of mental energy used in this investigation have similar sensitivity for detecting change in response to a small and moderate dose of caffeine and breakfast.
This double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-subjects (N=18) experiment compared the sensitivity to change of cognitive performance and mood measures of mental energy following consumption of either 100 or 200-mg caffeine or a 440-calorie breakfast. Breakfast and 200-mg caffeine improved mood and cognitive performance. The sensitivity to change of the measures did not differ in response to any treatment (all p values> .05).
Sensitivity to Change in Cognitive Performance and Mood Measures of Energy and Fatigue in Response to Morning Caffeine Alone or in Combination with Carbohydrate
Journal Article 2009
This double-blind, placedbo-controlled, within-subjects (N=17) experitment compared the sensitivity to change o fthe cognitive performance and mood measures of mental energy following consumption of either a moderate does ofcaffeine (200 mg), a small amount of carbohydrate (50 g white bread), or both. Caffeine improved mood and performance. The sensitivity to change of the mood and cognitive measures did not differ in response to the three treatments (all p values> .05). The mood and cognitive measures of mental energy used here have similar sensitivity to detecting change in response to caffeine and carbohydrate.
