Was misst die Studie?
Primäre Ergebnismessungen
Ergebnis Maßnahme |
Maßnahmenbeschreibung |
Zeitfenster |
|---|---|---|
|
Difference in cerebrovascular perfusion of tea versus water
Zeitfenster: Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.
|
Cerebrovascular perfusion measured as middle cerebral artery velocity
|
Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.

Zeitfenster |

|
Difference in cerebrovascular auto-regulation gain of tea versus water
Zeitfenster: Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.
|
Dynamic cerebrovascular autoregulation is assessed via squat-stand manoeuvres performed to elicit oscillations in blood pressure within the high-pass filter frequency range (<0.20 Hz) of the cerebrovascular. Squat-stand cycles are performed at 0.2 Hz (2.5-seconds squatting, followed by 2.5-seconds standing) and at 0.1 Hz (5-seconds squatting, followed by 5-seconds standing) for 5-minutes each, separated by a 5-minute rest. Transfer function analysis is conducted on the beat-to-beat blood pressure and middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity mean signals to produce values of gain (damping effect of Cerebrovascular autoregulation on the magnitude of blood pressure oscillations). |
Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.

Difference in cerebrovascular auto-regulation coherence of tea versus water

Difference in PANAS of tea versus water
Zeitfenster: Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.
|
Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) questionnaire consisting of a list of ten positive and ten negative feelings and emotions.
Participants rate the extent to which they are feeling each emotion, on a scale from 1 (very slightly or not at all) to 5 (extremely).
|
Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.

|
Difference in Bond-Lader of tea versus water
Zeitfenster: Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.
|
Bond-Lader questionnaire: 16 adjective pairs with a 100mm line in between.
Three sub-scales will be calculated: Alertness, Contentedness and Calmness.
|
Immediately before and immediately after each of the two 6-hour interventions. The 'before' results will be added to the mixed model as a covariate.
|
|
Difference in affect of tea versus water
Zeitfenster: Before (0) and at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours during tea and water interventions. Both dimensions will be tested in a repeated measures linear mixed model. The treatment effect is the difference in the least square means of tea versus water.
|
Affect grid.
Two dimensional grid of 19x19 cells scoring pleasure and arousal
|
Before (0) and at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours during tea and water interventions. Both dimensions will be tested in a repeated measures linear mixed model. The treatment effect is the difference in the least square means of tea versus water.
