These findings are based on empirical evidence from a case study done on a 24-year-old graduate student at Payap University in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This student had last set his personal record of consecutive hacky-sack hits back in 2006. Since that time four years ago, he has remained stagnant at 38 consecutive hits as a personal record.
On July 1, 2010, at approximately 16:40 (GMT+7), the aforementioned grad student silenced the four-year hiatus with a new personal record of 39 consecutive hacky-sack hits. In a personal interview with the student, the student suggested the direct causal link between the heavy amounts of brain activity needed in processing the challenging coursework and the urge to decompress with the physically stimulating (yet rather mindless) activity of playing hacky-sack. The student then speculated that given these findings, he may improve his personal record to 50 consecutive hits by the end of the first semester. The researcher suggests that this developing case study is revisited at the end of the semester to verify the findings and the student's hypothesis.
Respectfully submitted,
