Background. Athletes favor many sports supplements as a support or performance enhancer after doing aerobic training activities. However, no supplement formulation has been developed in the form of coffee leaf kawa-based jelly candy that can support performance in running 400 meters. Objectives. This study aimed to analyze the effect of giving jelly candy based on coffee leaf kawa on the 400-meter run carried out by athletes. Methods. The research design is a two-group pretest and post-test design. A total of 18 petanque athletes were used as research samples and divided into two groups using the matching pairing method. The research procedure was that the treatment group was given coffee leaf kawa-based jelly candy 15 minutes before the athlete ran 400 meters, as much as 10 grams. Results. Statistical tests showed no difference in 400 m running performance in the control and treatment groups (p> 0.05). Conclusion. Giving jelly candy based on coffee leaf extract can be a potential supplementation product option to support the performance of 400-meter running athletes. © 2025, Society of Aging and Physical Activity (SAPA).
