In this study, it was aimed to examine the effects of reaction training on reaction time and speed in tennis players. For this purpose a total of 18 tennis players; 9 male (age; 13.33 ± 1.80 years) and 7 female (13.85 ± 2.19 years) were voluntarily participated the study. In this study, the reaction training program, which was applied for 2 days a week for 12 weeks, was prepared in addition to tennis training. In the reaction training, exercises suitable for visual and auditory reaction were used. Before and after the 12-week reaction training, a 30 m speed running test and reaction time tests were performed. Whether the data showed normal distribution was analyzed with the Shapiro Wilk test and it was determined that the data did not show normal distribution. Mann Whitney U test was used in comparisons between the two groups. Wilcoxan Signd Rank test was used in the comparisons made before and after the training. As a result of the statistical analysis, it was seen that both the physical characteristics and performance parameters of males and females in our study group were not statistically different (p>0.05). For this reason, all subjects were taken into consideration regardless of gender in comparisons before and after tennis training. After the reaction training program applied to the subjects, it was determined that the 30 m speed performance values were shortened in duration compared to the pre-training period, that is, the speed improved (p <0.01). When the reaction time values were compared before and after the training program applied, it was seen that the reaction time values improved significantly after the training (p <0.01). As a result, reaction training performed in tennis players’ increases speed and reaction time performance. Reaction training is recommended in sports branches where this type of motor is important.

81 young male adults participated in a 6-wk. × 7 days a week myotatic and isometric strength training program. Associated with strength increments myotatic practice proved to be superior to the isometric program relative to improvement of movement time (MT) in the experimental leg and contralateral transfer to the control limb. As a result of isometric exercises reaction time (RT) was decreased and was transferred more effectively than in the myotatic group although there was a loss of speed of movement in both limbs following isometric training. Correlations between RT and MT with pretraining strength and strength increment scores showed a high degree of specificity of relationship of individual differences.

This study investigated the effects of a 10-mo. endurance-training program (running) on speeded psychometric skills. On a weekly basis the experimental group of 36 subjects participated in one supervised and three unsupervised training sessions. The control group of 22 subjects engaged in no structural training activities during this period. Subjects' performance on a simple reaction-time task, a choice reaction-time task, and a letter-recognition task was assessed before and after the training intervention. Analysis indicated that a 20% improvement in aerobic fitness in the trained group was not accompanied by a significant improvement in psychometric performance. This result is discussed in terms of the relationship between aerobic fitness and cognitive performance. It is concluded that improved physical fitness is not necessarily accompanied by improved perceptual-motor skills.

We analyzed the effects of a regular training program on the health- and skill-related physical fitness (PF) of talented soccer players aged < 12 years; visual reaction time (VRT) and auditory reaction time (ART) were also assessed. In this single-group interventional study, 78 talented male youth soccer players (mean age, 9.54 years) were critically selected by the Korean Educational Development Institute and underwent a 22-week training program consisting of 16 weeks of PF and basic skill training (90 min/week) and 6 weeks of intensive training (3, 150-min sessions/week). We assessed the pre- and post-training body composition, cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength and endurance, and flexibility. We also measured power, agility, coordination and speed, passing ability, VRT, and ART. All variables improved after training. Post-training VRT correlated with ART, muscle mass, power, cardiovascular endurance, 10-m dribble time, 10-m ball touch count, and 10-m successful pass count. ART only correlated with muscle mass. ART and 10-m ball-touch count influenced VRT, and VRT influenced ART. In conclusion, the training program enhanced the PF and visual- and auditory-related reactions in talented youth soccer players. This study suggests the importance of the assessed relationships, indicating that a training program that improves these parameters enhances the players’ performance.

Context:Peroneal reaction to sudden inversion has been determined to be too slow to overcome the joint motion. A focused plyometric training program may decrease the muscle's reaction time.Objective:To determine the effect of a 6-wk plyometric training program on peroneus longus reaction time.Design:Repeated measures.Setting:University research laboratory.Participants:48 healthy volunteers (age 20.0 ± 1.2 y, height 176.1 ± 16.9 cm, weight 74.5 ± 27.9 kg) from a large Midwestern university. Subjects were randomly assigned to either a training group or a control group.Interventions:Independent variables were group at 2 levels (training and no training) and time at 2 levels (pretest and posttest). The dependent variable was peroneal latency measured with surface electromyography. A custom-made trapdoor device capable of inverting the ankle to 30° was also used. Latency data were obtained from the time the trapdoor dropped until the peroneus longus muscle activated. Peroneal latency was measured before and after the 6-wk training period. The no-training group was instructed to maintain current activities. The training group performed a 6-wk plyometric protocol 3 times weekly. Data were examined with a repeated-measures ANOVA with 1 within-subject factor (time at 2 levels) and 1 between-subjects factor (group at 2 levels). A priori alpha level was set at P < .05.Main Outcome Measures:Pretest and posttest latency measurements (ms) were recorded for the peroneus longus muscle.Results:The study found no significant group-by-time interaction (F1,46 = 0.03, P = .87). In addition, there was no difference between the pretest and posttest values (pretest = 61.76 ± 14.81 ms, posttest = 59.24 ± 12.28 ms; P = .18) and no difference between the training and no-training groups (training group = 59.10 ± 12.18 ms, no-training group = 61.79 ± 15.18 ms; P = .43).Conclusions:Although latency measurements were consistent with previous studies, the plyometric training program did not cause significant change in the peroneus longus reaction time.

Abstract Background Cognitive overload can impair learning, and different factors might affect cognitive load during simulation-based training. In this study, we investigate the role of failure in repeated practice of virtual reality (VR) simulation of hip fracture surgery on cognitive load (CL) estimated by secondary-task reaction time test and two questionnaires. Methods The VR simulation training program consisted of three competency levels of increasing complexity starting with the placement of a Kirschner wire in a fractured hip of one patient, adding clinical variability at the intermediate level, and performing the entire dynamic hip screw procedure in 24 different patients at the highest level. Thirteen consecutive passed simulations were required to advance to the next level. Performance was measured as passing/failing a procedure and the number of failed procedures within the latest three and five simulations. CL was measured objectively using reaction time testing during simulation and subjectively using the NASA-TLX and PAAS questionnaires. The study was carried out at a simulation center from November 2016 to March 2019. Forty-two first-year orthopedic surgery residents from the Central Denmark Region and the North Denmark Region participated in the training program. Results A failing performance in the simulated procedure was associated with a higher CL than passing a procedure. The subjective CL estimates were affected by the number of failures during last three and five procedures with a higher number of failures being associated with a higher CL. In contrast, relative reaction time estimates of CL were not affected by previous failures. Conclusions Questionnaires for estimation of CL seem to be affected by participant frustration after failure—a meta-cognitive “carry-over” effect. This could be a general limitation of the subjective questionnaire approach to estimate CL. Reducing CL through instructional design and handling of participant frustration might improve the learning outcome of simulation training programs.

Nos últimos anos tem crescido o interesse na utilização de uma abordagem baseada em jogos ou Game Based Approach (GBA) para ensinar e treinar futebol. Neste contexto, recorre-se aos jogos reduzidos e condicionados para promover o desenvolvimento dos praticantes. Porém, ainda são poucos os estudos que investigaram o efeito da GBA na capacidade física e especialmente em aspectos atencionais. Sendo assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar o efeito de um programa de 35 semanas de treinamento de futebol baseado na GBA sobre a capacidade cardiorrespiratória, potência muscular de membros inferiores e capacidade atencional de crianças e adolescentes. Para análise estatística comparou-se as variáveis antes e após a intervenção através do teste t pareado e do Wilcoxon, adotando nível de significância de p<0,05. Os resultados demonstraram que houve manutenção do VO2 máximo, aumento da potência muscular de membros inferiores (748±205W vs 1250±607W, pré e pós, respectivamente; p=0,001), diminuição do tempo de reação (pré=707±124ms vs pós=665±140ms; p=0,023) e aumento no número de acertos (pré=81±20 vs pós=87±16; p=0,041) no teste de Flanker. Dessa forma, pode-se concluir que aulas baseadas na GBA podem ser uma alternativa para melhorar a capacidade física e atencional de crianças e adolescentes. In recent years, the interest of coaches and researchers about Game Based Approach (GBA) to teach and coach soccer has grown. Is this context, small-sided and conditioned games are being increasingly used as a tool for player’s development. However, few studies have investigated the effect of GBA on physical capacity and especially on attentional aspects. Thus, the present study aimed to verify the effect of 35-week GBA soccer training program on cardiorespiratory fitness, lower limb muscle power, reaction time and visual attention of children and adolescents. For statistical analysis, variables were compared before and after the intervention using the paired t test and Wilcoxon, and the significance level adopted was p<0.05. The results showed a maintenance of maximum VO2 and increased lower limb muscle power (748±205W vs 1250±607W, before and after, respectively; p=0.001). In attentional capacity, a decreased in reaction time (before=707±124ms vs after=665±140ms; p=0.023), and an increased number of correct answers (before=81±20 vs after=87±16; p=0.041) in Flanker Test. The study concluded that GBA, lasting 35 weeks, can be an alternative to improve children’s physical and attentional capacity performance. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0623/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
