Placebo Effect in Field-Based Physical Performance
2026年7月31日 更新者:Poznan University of Physical Education
Psychophysiological Mechanisms of the Placebo Effect on Physical Performance in Field Settings
This study aims to investigate the placebo (PLA) effect on physical performance across different sports disciplines in real-world, field-based settings.
The study investigates how participant expectations and beliefs regarding caffeine (CAF) intake influence physical performance and psychomotor function outside the controlled laboratory environment.
Healthy, physically active adults (n = 120) from diverse sports backgrounds will be randomly assigned to receive caffeine, placebo, or no intervention.
Participants will perform discipline-specific field exercise tests (e.g., running-based protocols or repeated sprint protocols) while physiological responses are monitored using wearable technology.
Physical performance outcomes and psychomotor responses will be analyzed to evaluate the real-world impact of the placebo effect and to distinguish the pharmacological effects of caffeine from those driven by psychological expectations across different athletic settings.

詳細な説明
This study employs a cross-sectional design conducted in diverse field settings to investigate the placebo (PLA) effect across different sports disciplines.
Participants (n = 120, aged 20-35 years) representing different training profiles (endurance and mixed) will be randomly assigned to one of three parallel groups: Caffeine, Placebo, or Control.
Each participant will complete a single experimental session lasting approximately 35 minutes, consisting of: (1) baseline psychomotor assessment using the Simple Reaction Time test, (2) a discipline-specific exercise protocol (e.g., the Cooper test performed on an athletics track or a Repeated Sprint Ability protocol), and (3) post-exercise recovery monitoring.
Physiological parameters, including heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), and respiratory rate (RR), together with postural stability, will be continuously monitored using wearable technology.
The study will evaluate how psychological expectations influence physical performance, psychomotor function, and physiological responses during sport-specific exercise, providing evidence for the role of the placebo effect under real-world athletic conditions.
