Visual Stimulus Response Rate, Analysis of Values Obtained from two Different Positions

Abstract

Studying the ability to have rapid and context-related reactions is becoming an increasingly obvious concern of the movement specialists. The speed of reaction results from neural performance, visual acuity and specific training. Constant physical activity influences the reaction speed and can make the difference between success and failure. Our study included 25 female subjects, with a body mass index between 19 and 27, who were not involved in sports training activities. Measurements were made in the sitting position on two legs with bent knees and in the position on one foot in equilibrium. Results were correlated with body mass index. For the "Two-legged" test — with average: 217.28, the "One-legged" test where average was 216.36 and "BMI" with average: 21.08. Correlation between the two tests: 0.901 (strong positive correlation → similar performance between the two conditions). Correlation between test 1 and "BMI": -0.004 (BMI does not significantly influence two-legged performance). Correlation between test two and "BMI": 0.082 (very weak). People who perform well on two legs tend to have a similar performance on one leg. BMI does not appear to significantly influence either balance on two legs or one leg. The values are relatively close between "On two legs" and "On one leg", but there are individual variations
