Expectations related to exercise performance-enhancing properties of coffee and energy drinks

Description

This is a cross sectional study assessing regular exercisers' expectation about the positive and negative effects of coffee and energy drinks on exercise performance.

Steps to reproduce

Assess exercise demographics, require participants (aged 18 or over) to be regular exercisers defined as a minimum of one weekly session of exercise and present them the Stanford Treatment Expectancy Scale (STES). Compare the expectancy data for coffee and energy drinks and also look at groups such as exercise frequency (high-low), gender, form of exercise (aerobic. anaerobic, mixed). Furthermore, examine the relationship of expectancies with exercise history (years or months) and perceived exercise intensity.
