Auditory and Visual Reaction Time in Taekwondo Players
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 0, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Excellence in a combat sport like Taekwondo relies on the ability to execute a technique with enough force in as little time as possible. Hence reaction time, speed and agility are essential in these practitioners. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to find out the Auditory and Visual Reaction time in Taekwondo players and compare it with non athletes. Method: Reaction time was measured with the response analyzer in trained taekwondo practitioners and non athletes. Results: The practitioners of Taekwondo responded significantly earlier to both auditory and visual stimuli. Conclusion: It can be concluded that shorter reaction time in these players is beneficial as it would prevent them from opponent attacks and help them to score better. Training to achieve a suitable reaction time can significantly influence performance especially during competitions.
