  Abstract

Caffeine is said to aid the production of dopamine, a hormone that stimulates cognitive functions of the
body as well as boost adrenaline. However, caffeine’s most known function is to battle drowsiness and not
to heighten alertness and physical alacrity or reaction time. Previous research claims that caffeine does
not affect the reaction time of adults above 24 years of age, but that is mainly because the peak
performance of one’s physical alacrity is below 24 years old. This research focuses on a much younger
age group, that of grade 12 students, which ranges from 16 to 19 years old. Two tests were implemented,
the stick-drop test and the audio-visual catch test, both of which are done before and after consuming the
students’ choice of caffeinated drink. The data gathered from the pretest and posttest are analyzed using
the One-Way ANOVA Test. Contrary to the conclusion the previous research has arrived at, the findings
in this research indicate that caffeine does affect and ultimately increases the reaction time of grade 12
Theresians, depending on the amount of caffeine consumed.
