Abstract

The aim of this study is to
examine the effect of anaerobic exercise on the simple reaction times of male
and female team athletes. A total of 120 athletes who have been active in
basketball, volleyball, handball, football and hockey branches for at least 2
years were included in the study voluntarily. Age, height, body weight and
simple visual and auditory reaction time and Running-based Anaerobic Sprint
Test (RAST), which is an anaerobic test, measurements of the groups were
performed. Simple visual and auditory reaction time measurements of the
participants were applied before the anaerobic test (pretest). Then simple
visual and auditory reaction time measurements were repeated following the RAST
test application after warming up (post-test). There was no statistically
significant difference between the pre-test and post-test parameters of the
groups and simple visual and auditory reaction time values (p> 0.05). In
addition, in comparison between male and female athletes, male athletes were
found to have significantly shorter auditory reaction times than female
athletes only in the soccer branches (p<0,05). As a result, it can be said
that anaerobic exercises does not cause any change in the visual and auditory
reaction times between the branches of the team athletes, so athletes with at
least 2 years of experience are able to respond quickly from the central
nervous system against the stimulation after an anaerobic exercise, and that
the neurocognitive functions are not impaired under difficult conditions.

ANAEROBİK EGZERSİZİN TAKIM SPORLARINDA BASİT GÖRSEL VE İŞİTSEL REAKSİYON ZAMANLARINA AKUT ETKİSİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın
amacı, anaerobik egzersizin erkek ve kadın takım sporcularının basit reaksiyon
zamanlarına etkisini incelemektir. Çalışmaya 18 - 30 yaş aralığında basketbol,
voleybol, hentbol, futbol ve hokey branşlarında en az 2 yıldır aktif olarak
spor yapmakta olan 120 sporcu gönüllü olarak dâhil edildi. Gruplara yaş, boy
uzunluğu, vücut ağırlığı, basit görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon zamanı ile
anaerobik bir test olan “Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test” (RAST) ölçümleri
yapıldı. Katılımcıların anaerobik test öncesi basit görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon
zamanı ölçümleri yapıldı (ön test). Daha sonra ısınma yaptırılarak RAST testi
uygulamasını takiben basit görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon zamanı ölçümleri tekrar
edildi (son test). Grupların ön test ve son test parametreleri ile gruplar
arası karşılaştırmalarda, basit görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon zamanı değerlerinde
istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir fark gözlenmedi (p>0,05). Futbol branşında
erkek sporcuların kadın sporculara göre işitsel reaksiyon zamanlarının daha iyi
olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Sonuç olarak anaerobik egzersizin branşlar
arasında basit görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon zamanlarında herhangi bir değişime
yol açmadığı, en az 2 yıllık tecrübeye sahip sporcularda anaerobik bir egzersiz
sonrasında bile uyarıya karşı merkezi sinir sistemi tarafından hızlıca
değerlendirme yaparak uygun yanıtın verilebildiği ve nörokognitif
fonksiyonların zorlu koşullarda bozulmadığı söylenebilir.
