Effect of Sprint Training on Audiovisual Reaction Time in Basketball Players: Randomized Controlled Trial
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Reaction is purposeful voluntary response to different stimuli such as visual or auditory stimuli. As reaction time gives the information how fast a person responds to sensory stimuli, it is a good indicator of performance in reactive sports like basketball. It has been suggested that reaction time could be used as an index of expertise for sport-specific decision-making in basketball players. The present study was carried out to compare the effects of 6 weeks of Sprint Training on Audiovisual reaction time in basketball players. The present study is an Interventional Randomized Controlled Trial. Twenty basketball players aged 15 to 25 years were enrolled for the study. Informed consent was taken from all the participants. They were randomly distributed into 2 groups. Group- 1: Controls: Players undergoing regular training. Group-2: Players undergoing Sprint Training along with regular training. They underwent sprint training for 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Audiovisual reaction time was measured by Medicaid RTM -604, before starting the training and after 6 weeks of training. Sprint Interval training led to better improvement in audiovisual reaction time as compared to regular training group. Hence, Sprint Interval training can be suggested as a method to improve audiovisual reaction time in basketball players and improve their performance.
