Abstract


The purpose of this study was to compare the reaction time between Basketball players (group Basketball), Artistic Gymnastics (Gymnastics group) and non-athletes (control group). The subjects were evaluated in simple and choice reaction time through the instrument MULTPSY 821 and Viena Test System, respectively. The results showed only significant difference between groups in the measure of simple reaction time. The control group showed higher reaction time compared to other groups. These findings indicate that the practice of Basketball and Artistic Gymnastics can improve the reaction time which is a perceptual ability needed in daily living activities.

Keywords
