What this Trial Is About
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.
