The Effects of Cigarette Addiction on Lower Extremity Movement Speed and Coordination
Sponsor: Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi
Summary
This observational study will aim to investigate the effects of cigarette addiction on lower extremity motor coordination and movement speed in young adults. The study will include healthy participants aged 18-25 years, divided into smokers and non-smokers. Motor coordination will be assessed using the Lower Extremity Motor Coordination Test (LEMOCOT), and speed will be evaluated with a 30-meter sprint test. Nicotine dependence will be evaluated in smokers using the Fagerström Test. The findings will provide insight into the possible functional impacts of nicotine addiction on motor performance.

Behavioral and Functional Performance Assessment Battery
This study will include only observational functional assessments. No active intervention will be performed.This observational protocol will involve standardized assessments of lower extremity coordination (LEMOCOT), movement speed (30-meter sprint), and smoking-related behavioral patterns (Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence). These tools will be used to evaluate the potential impact of cigarette addiction on physical performance in young adults. No therapeutic or pharmacological intervention will be applied.
