A research scientist investigated the effect of caffeine on heart rate in human volunteers.

The scientist divided volunteers into three groups. Each group was given the same volume of fluid.

• Each member of Group I was given a sports drink containing caffeine and sugar.

• Each member of Group J was given a sports drink containing caffeine and no sugar.

• Each member of Group K was given water.

The scientist recorded the volunteers' heart rate before the drink was given and for 120 minutes after the drink was given.

Her results can be seen in Figure 3.

Caffeine affects the autonomic nervous system.

Suggest how caffeine could account for the results of Group I in Figure 3 at 60 minutes.
