Comparative Study of Simple Choice Auditory Reaction Time of University Sports and Sedentary Female Students

Abstract

Simple choice auditory reaction time plays a vital role in daily life including sports. The balanced reaction of both sides of the human helps in achieving the highest movement output. The purpose of the study is to compare simple reaction time between university sports and sedentary female students based on preferred and non-preferred hand. Subjects were selected from Jashore University of Science and Technology, Bangladesh. They were bachelor and master students and were between 19-26 years old. There were 20 students in each group of sports and sedentary female students. Data was collected using the AVR machine. An average of 5 trials was calculated as the time score in millisecond. The result shows that in simple choice auditory reaction time of hands between sports and sedentary female students in the preferred hand, sport female mean = 18.25 ms and SD = 2.07 ms and sedentary female students' mean = 20.45 ms and SD = 1.67 ms with t (0.05) (38)=-3.695 and p = 0.001.On the other hand, in the non-preferred hand Sport female mean = 20.20 ms and SD = 1.80 ms, and Sedentary female mean = 21.70 ms and SD = 0.98 ms with t (0.05) (38) =-3.382 and p= 0.002. Moreover, in the simple choice auditory reaction time between the preferred and non-preferred hand of sports and sedentary female players' preferred hand mean = 19.35 ms and SD = 2.167 ms, and non-preferred hand mean = 20.35 ms and SD = 1.616 ms, t (0.05) (39) =-5.639 and p= 0.00. So it is concluded that University sports female students are superior to sedentary female students in simple choice auditory reaction time in both the hands. Further, University female students' preferred hand is faster in simple choice auditory reaction time than that of non-preferred hand.

An In-depth Analysis of Multisensory Reaction Time Disparities between Yogic and Non-Yogic Practitioners

“…Reaction time indicates how quickly an organism responds to particular stimuli and is affected by factors like age, gender, handedness, visual concentration, practice, fatigue, fasting, breathing rhythms, personality traits, physical activity, and cognitive capabilities (Jain et al, 2015). In the context of events, reaction time pertains to the ability to swiftly and effectively respond to stimuli such as sound or light, demonstrating quick and suitable posture and control (Reza et al, 2018;Singh & Singh, 2024). Auditory and visual reaction time, vital in this context, denotes the time interval from the introduction of a sound or light stimulus to the commencement of the corresponding response.…”

“…Moreover, a very small difference in the players’ reaction time plays a significant role in distinguishing between the winner and loser [ 4 ]. In team sports, reaction time is the ability to respond as quickly as possible to stimuli like sound, light, and signal [ 5 ]. In the literature, reaction time is becoming increasingly important, especially in a team sport where not only straight ahead speed is an important but mainly quick reaction to the situation on the pitch [ 5 ].…”

According to Atan and Akyol [ 6 ], athletes who practice team sports should have certain psychomotor abilities.…”
