The Effect of Energy Drink Consumption on Brake Reaction Time
Get PDFObjective: To investigate if brake reaction times improve for college aged students after consuming an energy drink (ED).
Design: Cross-sectional.
Setting: College Setting Participants: 103 college aged participants (1=35, 2=34, 3=34). Brake reaction time tested 30 minutes post consumption of ED drink containing either 150 mg of caffeine, 34 mg of caffeine, or 0 mg of caffeine (placebo). Completion of Rand SF-36 general health and the General Knowledge Questionnaire for Adults surveys.
Results: All groups improved brake reaction time from pre-to post-test. When comparing brake reaction time between groups, no statistical differences occurred.
Conclusions: The majority of college students consumed caffeinated EDs primarily to improve their focus. However, consuming these drinks did not influence brake reaction times during sudden stops or while anticipating a stop. Therefore, college aged students should avoid relying on these drinks for safety when operating a motor vehicle

Seven Generations of Indigenous Education at Morris
No full textVilleneuve presented the Morris campus history as a story told in three acts defined by a set of educational “experiments” on its campus: the “Indian Boarding School” (1887-1909), the West-Central School of Agriculture, (1910-1963), followed by the University of Minnesota Morris (1960 to the present). While these are undoubtedly important chapters in the institutional history of this place, what happens when we center the uncommonly long and enduring presence of Native learners here? This talk reconceptualizes the history (and perhaps even the future) of the place called Morris into seven generations by highlighting the distinctive experience of Indigenous students here over the last 135 years.
Villeneuve earned his PhD in history from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where he studied in the fields of U.S. History since 1865, American Indian history, and environmental history. Currently, he is pursuing research on a number of projects at the intersection of progressive education and federal Indian boarding schools. At UW-Madison, he teaches courses on American Indian history, Native studies, and Indigenous education.https://digitalcommons.morris.umn.edu/ahern/1000/thumbnail.jp
