No. Caffeine is a stimulate or a drug and for some people, taking in too much can work against your heart -- especially during exercise. It can make your heart race or cause you to feel palpitations. If you take in caffeine, do so in moderation. For example, 1 - 2 cups of coffee are within the limits of normal. Drink 2 - 3 energy drinks with high levels of caffeine before and during exercise may cause problems.

No you should drink plain water or an electrolyte mix like Gatorade or Powerade. Avoid caffeine or "energy" drinks because they dehydrate you.

You may not feel the stimulant effect as much as other people, especially if you are used to caffeine, but it is still having an effect on your body. Excessive caffeine, especially during growth years, can be very bad for your heart. Go a couple of days without a caffeine based energy drink. You will likely get a pretty bad headache and feel sluggish. This is a symptom of caffeine dependency building in your body.
