Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
There are two types of coffee which are caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee will be used in this study. The recruitment of the participant will be conducted based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Randomization and allocation concealment were conducted after obtaining informed consent. The participants will be randomized using block randomization (1:1). The random alphabet A and B will each be placed into an envelope. The envelopes were then distributed to the participants on a first come first serve basis during recruitment. Participants with the alphabet A received a cup of coffee A whereas participants with the alphabet B received a cup of coffee B.

The researcher along with a research supervisor will conduct this procedure. Both types of coffee were prepared and provided by a local company. To maintain allocation concealment, both coffees were made to appear similar (sachet type, sachet size, sachet colour, amount of coffee, and colour of coffee). The only exception is the label (code) attached to the front of the sachet, A for coffee A and B for coffee B. This was a double-blind study where both participants and experimenters were not exposed to the code. Heart rate and blood pressure reading of participants will be taken before carrying out the experiment by using CHOICEMMED pulse oximeter and Novoplus Blood pressure monitor. Coffee will be made by the experimenter by using 200ml of hot water, caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee sachet that are provided by supervisor, and 250ml cups. Participants then drinking the coffee and any side effects will be observed. After 15minutes of consuming, heart rate reading will be taken using the same CHOICEMMED pulse oximeter. Blood pressure reading will be taken after 1 hour consuming the coffee. Researcher will collect the data until having enough participants, n=30.

Statistical methods / analysis
IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences Software (SPSS) version 27.0 will be used for data entering and analysis. Prior to data analysis as outliers were observe using box plot. Categorical data calculated using frequency and percentage. Normally distributed numerical data were described by presenting mean and standard deviation (SD). Estimation was performed by measuring their point estimations and 95% confident interval. Hypothesis testing to determine short term effects of coffee on blood pressure pre and post coffee consumption will be using paired t-test and independent t-test. Hypothesis testing using paired t-test and independent t-test also will be used to identify the short-term effects of coffee on heart rate reading pre and post coffee consumption. Last hypothesis testing using Pearson correlation to investigate the relationship between effect of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee on heart rate and blood pressure among coffee consumers. Significant level was set at a < 0.05.

Research Objectives
1) To investigate short term effects of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee on heart rate.
2) To check for short term effects of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee on blood pressure.
3) To investigate on the association of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee on heart rate and blood pressure between habitual coffee consumers.

Significance of Study:
Studies on short term effects of coffee on heart rate and blood pressure are still lacking in Malaysia although the number of coffee consumption every year is keep increasing. The finding of this study will help in identifying the short-term effects of coffee on heart rate and blood pressure and will give knowledge and awareness regarding impact of coffee consumption towards health. Furthermore, this study will help in investigating relation of effect of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee on heart rate and blood pressure among habitual coffee consumers.

Study design:
This study is a quantitative research study design. A double blinded randomized control trial (RCT) study will be used to conduct this study. RCT is a suitable design to use in this study as it functions to determine whether cause and effect relation are existing between the intervention by randomly assigned individual or groups to the intervention control study. This study will follow indications of the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trial (CONSORT) Statement.

Population:
The participants involve in this study is lecturer in Faculty of Health Science, UiTM Puncak Alam.

Study setting:
The study will be conducted at Faculty of Health Sciences 6, UiTM Puncak Alam. This study’s target population is lecturer who are habitual or non-habitual coffee consumer in Faculty of Health Science, UiTM Puncak Alam.
