Gold Peak Sweet Tea

188 Words1 Page

In conclusion, my hypothesis was supported through the data produced by my experiment. I had two groups, subject A and B were my control group and subject C and D were my experimental group. Subject A and B did not drink the 8 ounces of Gold Peak Sweet Tea and only did the 2 minute jogging exercise. Meanwhile, my experimental group which was subjects C and D tested my independent variable which was the Gold Peak Sweet Tea by drinking 8 ounces of it and then waiting 5 minutes so the caffeine could enter and play its affects in the blood stream and central nervous system before jogging in place. When I tested myself (I was subject C) I realized that after drinking the tea my heart started to pound and when collecting my data realized that there was an increase of 4.33 bpm from drinking the tea compared to not. …show more content…

The reason why heart rate increased more when the sweet tea was used was because it contained a lot of caffeine and caffeine acts as a stimulant by exerting an effect on the body's central nervous

    The subject was then asked to perform the same steps as last week in addition to getting their blood lactate taken before activity begins and again at every increase in incline. These processes were performed the following week as well, but the test subject was given a concoction that contained 250 mg of caffeine. This study was a double blind study in which the instructors, nor the subjects knew when the test subject was given caffeine. By having a double blind study all biases for how the data should turn out were eliminated. In addition, the professors, the test subject, and the research group were unable to skew the data because they were unaware of when the subject got the

    Also, we learned that depressants decrease the heart rate because they influence the parasympathetic nervous system which responsible for the rest and digest and depress the sympathetic nervous system (Silverthorn, 2010). The main stimulator in Red Bull is caffeine, it functions by blocking the effects of the adenosine, a brain chemical involved in sleep. When caffeine blocks adenosine, it causes firing of neurons that stimulate the sympathetic system, that triggers "fight or flight" response by releasing adrenaline. Adrenaline is a hormone that increases the heart rate and dilate the eye; another effect of Caffeine is changing the levels of dopamine, responsible for pleasure in the brain (Kollmorgen, 2011). We will be comparing the components individually to the baseline, we will also be testing the components in combination compared to their results individually and baseline. Our baseline will be aged tap

  • Mint Gum Flavor The Longest

    217 Words  | 1 Pages

    The purpose of this experiment was to identify which brand of mint gum holds its flavor the longest. The four brands I chose were Orbit, Trident, Ice Breakers, and Wrigley's Doublemint My hypothesis was that Trident brand would last the longest and Wrigley's Doublemint would last the shortest. I did not use any people in my test. I chewed the same amount of gum at a time and the gum was all the same flavor, mint. All the gum was bought at the same time from the same store. I chewed the four brands of gums between periods of time. When chewing, I timed myself with a stopwatch. When I believed the gum ran out of flavor, I stopped the timmer and recorded the time. My hypothesis was incorrect. Instead of Trident, Orbit lasted the longest. However

    Drinks that do not have a metabolic energy source can give off increased energy by adding other factors to it. For example, caffeine may give the perception of energy being increased if you add sugar to it. That sugar is absorbed by the blood and breaks down the bonds of glucose, going through cellular respiration process. This helps the releasing of energy to the body, helping drinks that contain no metabolic energy sources.

  • Experimental Variables

    828 Words  | 2 Pages

    In order to have a successful, reliable experiment you need sufficient data and evidence, reliable research, variables to test and a follow – up experiment. There are several types of variables you need to do an experiment. An independent variable is the manipulated experimental factor that is changed to see what the effects are. A dependent variable is the outcome. This factor can change in an experiment in reaction to the changes in the independent variable. An experimental group is the group of participants that are exposed to the change that the independent variable represents. The control group is participants who are treated in the same way as the experimental group except for the manipulated factor which is the independent variable (King 24). Proper data, evidence and research is also needed so the experiment turns out correctly and you know what you are testing. A follow – up experiment is not required, however it helps the validity of the conclusion of the experiment. Validity is “the soundness of the conclusions that a researcher draws from an experiment” (King 25). Conducting a follow – up experiment will help researchers and people alike see if the experiment worked properly, continues to help people and see how participants are doing after the experiment is over.

    Since sugar contains an addictive sweet flavor and a lot of energy needed for the human, its usage has been increasing since before the industrialization of sugar production. Furthermore, an anthropologist, Sidney W. Mintz, wrote a book called Sweetness and Power describing the journey of making sugar a necessity for almost everyone in the world. As a result, according to Mintz’ book and other researches, after the discovery of sugar by the Europeans in the Middle Ages, the sugar consumers had expanded from only the elites of England then became a necessity for everyone, including the working class.

  • Argumentative Essay On Energy Drinks

    Scientists Ricardo Mora-Rodriguez and Jesus G Pallares executed a study observing the performance outcomes and side effects of energy drinks. They confirmed that due to their high carbohydrate concentration and lack of salts, energy drinks are not a good beverage choice when prolonged exercise in a warm environment is likely to require rehydration. They also found that ingestion of high doses of caffeine, although ergogenic, could result in negative side effects that could counteract the caffeine’s ergogenic effect. Even though energy drinks have the ability to increase a certain amount of energy, the energy would be short lived, due to lack of hydration. A similar study was performed by a team of scientists in Nepal. They tested on medical students at a Nepalese medical school. After the experiment, they concluded that energy drinks give energy and increase the stamina but they produce neurologic, psychiatric, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal complications on health. Certain students that participated in the study started to experience palpitation (increased or irregular heartbeat), nausea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These symptoms are just a few of the health risks that regularly consuming energy drinks can

    The materials used: one wristwatch (with second hand), two variably indifferent humans (one male, one female), and a standard staircase at CCC. The method was simple: two test subjects were exposed to two trials involving one minute of physical activity and x minutes needed for the recovery of the heart rate. Before the experiment began, each subject's resting heart rate was taken. This would become the controlled variable. Next, each subject ran up one set of stairs at CCC, one stair at a time, for one minute. After one minute of activity, the subjects stopped and began taking his or her heart rate.
