The average reaction distance of athletes was 2.635 cm shorter than the average reaction distance for non-athletes. On average the reaction distance of athletes was 5.143 cm shorter than non-athletes on the first drop and 2.461cm shorter on the second drop. Female athletes were faster than female non-athletes by 9.35 cm on the first drop and 8.042cm on the second drop. Male athletes were 3.802 cm faster than male non-athletes on the first drop, but were 0.027 cm slower on the second drop. On average, the reaction on the second drop was faster than the reaction on the first drop. Also, the average reaction time of male athletes was faster than male non-athletes which was faster than female athletes.
Conclusion
Athletes have faster reaction times than non-athletes.
Discussion
Reaction time is the time between when a cue is presented and the muscular response to that cue. Athletes require fast reactions to be good at their sports. One reason athletes have faster reaction times than non-athletes is that they train regularly. Non-athletes may be in better or worse physical condition, but usually do not train regularly and often.
Different types of reactions have different times. For example, the fastest type of reaction is when there is only one cue and one reaction, such as catching a falling ruler. As the number of cues and reactions increase, reaction time increases. Also, the reaction to sound is usually about 20-60 msec faster than the reaction to light. All athletes need good reaction times whether to quickly leave the start, react to other players, or to changing conditions.
Reaction time is influenced not only by the number of cues and types of reactions, but also by the intensity of the cue, anticipation of the cue, anxiety, alertness, distractions, age, gender, which hand is dominant, practicing the reaction, fatigue, warming up the cardiovascular and nervous systems before the reaction occurs, and physical fitness.
In this experiment, on average, athletes had faster reaction times than non-athletes. This was expected and confirmed because athletes train and participate in their sports regularly, which improves reaction time. However, on the second drop males that were non-athletes had slightly faster reaction times than males that were athletes. This conflicts with every other test done in this experiment. If the ruler had been dropped more times per subject, or more subjects were tested, males that were athletes likely would have had faster reaction times than males that were non-athletes. This can be expected because other experiments that tested many people and did 200-300 tests per subject showed conclusively that male athletes had faster reaction times than male non-athletes. It is important to note that the differences between the male athletes and non-athletes on the second drop was very small. Also, when the first and second drops were averaged, male athletes were definitively faster than male non-athletes.
The average distance of the second drop was shorter than the average distance of the first drop because they already done it, and had a better understanding of what to expect.
Overall, athletes who have been trained to react have faster reactions times than a non-athlete.
