2.Divide participants into two groups –
•Experimental Group Given the energy drink.
•Control Group, Given the placebo (e.g flavoured water).
3.Participants consume the assigned drink under supervision.

the energy drink, continuing for 2 hours.
5.Record heart rate data for each participant in both the experimental and
control groups.
