Caffeine is a known stimulant that gives a sense of increased energy to the consumer. This research looks to evaluate how high amounts of caffeine consumed before exercise specifically can impact the cardiovascular system and its recovery period. By evaluating these changes and their potential cardiac effects, providers will be able to properly counsel patients on proper use before workouts along with the benefits and risks that come with it.
