TYPES OF STIMULI (TACTILE, ACOUSTIC, VISUAL) AND SENSOMOTOR RESPONSE TIME IN FENCING
Journal Title: Medycyna Sportowa - Year 2006, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
Background. The paper presents research experiment results the aim of which was to test the simple reaction time, movement time and the size of sEMG signal as a response to tactile, acoustic and visual stimuli. The test participants were fencers representing an advanced stage of training. As a research tool specially designed sEMG system with peripheral appliances enabling reactions to tactile, acoustic and visual stimulations was used.Material and methods. Research procedures included randomly selected exposition to 45 stimuli in each type of stimulation. Those under study were to react to definite stimulations depending on the type of signal.Results. Research results confirmed the initial hypothesis on significant predominance (short reaction times) of sensory and aural stimulations over reactions to visual stimuli. Moreover, it turned out that the visual control decreases muscle tension, and sensory and acoustic reactions show the opposite tendency. The group of fencers under study were characterised by high level of reaction time parameters in all three types of stimulations.Conclusions. The understanding of perception and data processing coming from the three senses (vision, touch, sound) and their mutual interactions is a basic task of each teacher and coach. The coaching practice in fencing proves that during a fight contestants integrate sensory information coming from all senses and give priority to the stimuli that are significant at a given moment of competition. In fencing tactile and visual items of information are subject to advance processing
