Abstract

Reaction time, the temporal interval between stimulus application and the onset of response, plays a pivotal role in sports performance. Visual Reaction Time (VRT), specifically, denotes the time required to respond to visual stimuli. This study sought to meticulously evaluate the reaction time in a sample of 98 subjects, employing reaction time software for precise measurements. During the reaction time assessment, visual stimuli were presented five times, and the final reaction time was derived by computing the average, excluding the highest and lowest values. The outcomes unveiled noteworthy variations in VRT, particularly in inter-sport comparisons such as athletics versus Football, athletics versus volleyball, and athletics versus boxing, this investigation contributes valuable insights into the nuanced dynamics of visual reaction time across diverse sporting disciplines.
