Education frequently dictates students need to study for prolonged periods of time to adequately prepare for examinations. This is especially true with aviation preflight indoctrination (API) candidates who have to assimilate large volumes of information in a limited amount of time during API training. The purpose of this study was to assess caffeine consumption patterns (frequency, type, and volume) among naval aviation candidates attending API to determine the most frequently consumed caffeinated beverage and to examine if the consumption of a nonenergy drink caffeinated beverage was related to energy drink consumption.
Data were collected by means of an anonymous 44-item survey administered and completed by 302 students enrolled in API at Naval Air Station Pensacola, FL.
Results indicated the most frequently consumed caffeinated beverage consumed by API students was coffee (86.4%), with daily coffee consumption being approximately 28% and the most frequent pattern of consumption being 2 cups per day (85%). The least frequently consumed caffeinated beverages reported were energy drinks (52%) and energy shots (29.1%). The present study also found that the consumption patterns (weekly and daily) of caffeinated beverages (coffee and cola) were positively correlated to energy drink consumption patterns.
Naval aviation candidates' consumption of caffeinated beverages is comparable to other college and high school cohorts. This study found that coffee and colas were the beverages of choice, with energy drinks and energy shots being the least frequently reported caffeinated beverages used. Additionally, a relationship between the consumption of caffeinated beverages and energy drinks was identified.Sather TE, Williams RD, Delorey DR, Woolsey CL.

教育常常要求学生长时间学习，以便为考试做好充分准备。对于航空飞行前教育（API）的学员来说尤其如此，他们在API培训期间必须在有限的时间内吸收大量信息。本研究的目的是评估参加API的海军航空学员的咖啡因消费模式（频率、类型和消费量），以确定最常饮用的含咖啡因饮料，并研究饮用非能量饮料类含咖啡因饮料是否与能量饮料的消费有关。
通过对佛罗里达州彭萨科拉海军航空站参加API的302名学生进行的一项44项匿名调查收集数据。
结果表明，API学员最常饮用的含咖啡因饮料是咖啡（86.4%），每日咖啡消费量约为28%，最常见的消费模式是每天2杯（85%）。报告中饮用频率最低的含咖啡因饮料是能量饮料（52%）和能量注射剂（29.1%）。本研究还发现，含咖啡因饮料（咖啡和可乐）的消费模式（每周和每日）与能量饮料的消费模式呈正相关。
海军航空学员的含咖啡因饮料消费量与其他大学生和高中生群体相当。本研究发现，咖啡和可乐是首选饮料，而能量饮料和能量注射剂是报告中使用频率最低的含咖啡因饮料。此外，还确定了含咖啡因饮料消费与能量饮料消费之间的关系。
