This project tested the effects of caffeine on the heart rate of twenty University of Scranton college students. Results showed a correlation between caffeine consumption and increased heart rate, with variations based on gender and caffeine habits. Males showed more stress on their hearts when not consuming caffeine, while females showed increased stress when regularly consuming caffeine. The study involved recording pulse rates and analyzing data to draw conclusions on caffeine's influence on heart rate in young adults.

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)
