AEROBIC CAPACITY IN RUNNERS AND CONTROLS, ITS CORRELATION WITH AUDIO VISUAL REACTION TIME
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Background & objective: The main purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of training and specificity on the oxygen uptake using bicycle ergometry and to see if aerobic exercise can increase cognitive processing speed by using reaction time. Methods: VO2max and Reaction time of 31 national level runners was compared with that of 31 controls. Runners were subdivided into two groups, group A (>2yrs & < 3yrs of training) and group B (>3yrs & < 10yrs of training).Correlation of VO2max with Audio Visual Reaction Time was done. Results: VO2max was found to be higher for runners and was statistically significant. Among runners VO2max was higher for group B players (seniors) and was statistically significant. Correlation analysis has shown negative correlation of VO2max with reaction time with statistically significant value for Click (Audio), Red and Green color in runners, Click (Audio) and Yellow color in controls. Interpretation & conclusion: Improvement in VO2max by regular practice will ultimately improve reaction time in turn improving the cognitive processing, speed and sports performance. K
