Clinical Trial Summary

The literature shows the positive effects of regular physical activity and sports on executive functions. It is seen that the low reaction times of the athletes increase their success and prevent injuries. However, as a result of the examinations, no studies were found that examined the relationship between the reaction times of the athletes and their executive functions. In this context, it is aimed to examine the relationship between reaction time and executive functions in amateur female athletes who play team sports.


Clinical Trial Description

Executive functions are often described as 'higher cognitive processes' that govern other basic cognitive functions. Executive functions include higher-order cognitive abilities such as planning, decision making, problem solving, strategizing, working memory, inhibition, cognitive flexibility, abstraction, and reasoning. It enables individuals to organize their thoughts and actions during goal-directed behavior, to think, to produce ideas, to respond and to control in the face of unexpected situations. Response time is the time elapsed after the stimulus reaches the body until the first response to these stimuli. It is the time between the first reaction that occurs after the appearance of a sensory, visual or tactile stimulus. Athletes must respond quickly to a ball, the movement of another athlete, or incoming signals to compete successfully and avoid injury. The reaction time depends on the neurophysiological processes in the brain. In our study, which was planned to evaluate the relationship between reaction time and executive functions in 66 amateur female athletes between the ages of 18-25, who are university football, basketball and volleyball team athletes; The age, body mass index (BMI), sports branch, duration of interest in sports will be recorded in the demographic information form. Hand-eye and foot-eye reaction time of the athletes will be evaluated by BlazePod Reaction Time Determination Test and executive functions will be evaluated with Forward-Backward Number Range test, Stroop test and Tracking A-B test. ;
