ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The start of a sprint race is one of its most important stages. The reaction time at the start lays a psychological foundation for normal performance and performance improvement in its next three stages.
Objective:
To research the reaction time of athletes in the starting stage of the 100-meters sprint race. This helps analyze the internal reaction mechanism of the body, which receives signals and responds to actions.
Methods:
We use a bibliographical research, experimental comparison, and mathematical statistics to study the starting reaction time of sprinters.
Results:
The starting reaction time of male and female sprinters was basically at the same level.
Conclusion:
The starting time of Chinese sprinters needs to be improved. 400-m sprinters, especially, should devote more training to their starting reaction time. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
