  • Simple and Choice Reaction Time: Literature

    Dear Armin on Fri, 4 Dec 1998 you wrote

    Dear Bioch-L subscribers,


    "anybody out there who would know about literature including
    comprehensive tables on simple reactions times or choice reaction
    times for movement tasks in sports?"

    Below you will find some references for RT and CRT testing on
    athletes and normals which I used in my Master's research. When I was
    doing my literature search I found that there hasn't been a great
    deal of work done with athletes, although there is some. I would
    suggest that you put specific keywords into the databases (Medline,
    SportsDiscus etc), such as 'tennis' et al, 'RT and athletes', and so
    on, according to what it is you want to look at.

    I didn't find any tables or normative data for athletes and my search
    covered the last ten years, approximately. As my research concerned
    cyclists I rejected lot of papers on other sports, many of which
    dealt with visual reaction time, because, like you I was interested in
    movement tasks. You may find some useful references from those I have
    given you.

    The protocol for my research was a CRT pre and post maximal graded
    cycle ergometer exercise, and the results supported the contention
    that moderate exercise improves reaction time (N = 10). If you would
    like to see a copy of those results, please let me know.
