NCT05789472

Brief 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • BlazePod Reaction Time Determination Test

    The BlazePod test, which includes "pods" equipped with touch sensors and LED lights, will be used to evaluate the reaction time. In the evaluation, the number of 15 seconds of touch (number), the reaction time (ms) for the visual response of 15 seconds of touch, and the average reaction time will be analyzed.

  • Forward-Backward Number Range Test

    The test consists of two parts as forward and backward range. In the forward number range, the numbers are read at one-second intervals and the patient is asked to repeat the numbers read randomly in the same order. In the back number range, it is requested to repeat the numbers read from the end to the beginning. As you succeed, it continues by increasing one step. If the patient fails twice in a row for both sections, the test is discontinued. Generally, the difference between the forward and backward number range is expected to be two digits. The highest score that can be obtained for the forward range is 8 points, and 7 for the backward range, for a total of 15 points.

  • Stroop Test

    The test consisting of 6 lines of random blue, green, red colors and including three basic tasks; In the first task, the individual is asked to name the colors in the box. In case of successful completion, the second task, the words written with the same colors, is asked to be read and the time is kept. In the third task, the words are asked to inhibit reading and to say in which color they are written. The time to finish the test, the number of errors, and the number of spontaneous corrections are noted.

  • Tracking Test

    The trail riding test consists of two parts, A and B. In part A, the participants are asked to combine the circles with the numbers in the correct order and following each other (1-2-3-4-5...). In section B, there are letters and numbers placed in circles. Participants are asked to combine letters and numbers in the correct sequence (1-A-2-B-3-C-4-D...). The times of both sections are recorded. The trailing test requires visuospatial processing and motor skills. Particularly, part B is widely used in the measurement of complex attention, planning, set-changing, and reaction inhibition among executive functions.
