Effects of Smoking Addiction on Lower Limb Speed and Coordination

NCT07061522 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This observational case-control study will investigate the impact of smoking addiction on lower extremity speed and coordination in young adults. Participants aged 18-25 will be divided into two groups based on their smoking status. The study will compare motor coordination and sprint performance between smokers and non-smokers using objective physical tests under standardized laboratory conditions.

  • Smoking Cessation

Behavioral/Physical Assessment

This study will not include any therapeutic or clinical intervention. Instead, participants will undergo a series of structured physical and questionnaire-based assessments to evaluate lower extremity motor performance. These include the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence and DSM-IV-TR criteria to classify smoking addiction. Anthropometric measurements such as Body Mass Index (BMI) and bimalleolar diameter/circumference will be recorded to assess potential confounding structural factors. Lower extremity coordination will be evaluated using the Lower Extremity Motor Coordination Test (LEMOCOT), and movement speed will be assessed with a 30-meter sprint test. All assessments will be conducted once in a controlled laboratory setting and are intended solely for comparative analysis between smokers and non-smokers.
