THE REACTION SPEED OF SPORTS ATHLETES IN DIFFERENT STATE LEVELS

COMPARAÇÃO DA VELOCIDADE DE REAÇÃO DOS ESPORTISTAS NA PARTIDA DA CORRIDA DE CEM METROS

COMPARACIÓN DE LA VELOCIDAD DE REACCIÓN DE LOS DEPORTISTAS EN LA PARTIDA DE LA CORRIDA DE CIEN METROS

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.
