Reaction Times of Different Branch Athletes and Correlation between Reaction Time Parameters
Year: 2014
Type: conference-paper
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the reaction times of athletes engaged with different sports branches and to examine the correlation between auditory, visual and multiple reaction time parameters. 215 male athletes in different sport branches and 44 non-athlete males participated the study. As a conclusion non-athletes’ reaction time parameters were found worse than the most branch athletes. Reaction time parameters of athletes don’t change between sports branches except judokas. The 15 years old athletes have the worst reaction times than 16, 17 and 18 years old athletes. A significant correlation between the visual, auditory and multiple reaction time parameters was determined.
