This project investigates the effects of caffeine on heart rate among twenty college students at the University of Scranton. Participants included 10 males and 10 females, split between caffeine consumers and non-consumers. Heart rates were measured by checking pulses for 15 seconds and multiplying the result. Results indicated that caffeine consumption is associated with increased heart rates. Notably, among regular caffeine consumers, female subjects exhibited greater heart rate stress, while male non-consumers showed more stress. Comprehensive data analysis supports these findings.

Project Overview • The aim of my project was to test the effects of caffeine on the heart rate of twenty college students
What I Used For My Project • Twenty University of Scranton college students- 10 males; 4 who drink caffeine, 4 who do not, and 2 controls- 10 females; 4 who drink caffeine, 4 who do not, & 2 controls • A watch, notebook, and pen to keep track of results
How I Carried Out My Project • I recorded the heart rate of students by checking their pulse at the wrist for 15 seconds, then multiplying the number by 4. • Then I wrote the results in my notebook and converted the information onto a table.
Conclusion • After carefully collecting and analyzing the data, I’ve concluded that caffeine consumption does increase heart rate. • When dealing with students who regularly consume caffeine, more stress was placed on the hearts of the female subjects (table 2, column 2) • When dealing with students who do not consume caffeine, more stress was placed on the hearts of male students (table 1, column 3)
