Examination of Visual and Audial Reaction Periods of National Team Football Players in terms of Gender Variance

Although there are many studies on the physical and physiological characteristics of football players, it can be said that studies describing the reaction characteristics of football players especially compare the genders are quite limited. The aim of this study is to determine the visual, auditory reaction times of male and female football national team athletes. Male (n=30;age 16.54±2.10years; height length 176.60±6.81cm; body weight 69.20±8.97kg) and woman (n=18; age 17.44±1.81) playing in the U 17 Men's and Women's Football National Team. Height length 163.72±5.45cm; body weight 54.23±6.48kg) player participated. The data obtained are presented as arithmetic mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum. All statistical evaluations were made with the help of SPSS 21 package program. Visual reaction values of male players in the examination conducted right hand: 193.46±15.37ms; left hand: 191.10± 23.55ms; auditory reaction values on the right hand: 171.40± 26.45ms; left hand was detected as 165.23±27.37ms. The female players; visual reaction values right hand: 187.66±47.14 ms; left hand: 210.44±47.96 ms; audial reaction values right hand: 217.72±69.30ms; left hand was determined as 204.05±49.13ms. It has been determined that the visual and auditory reaction times, which are the main determinants of the performance, are lower in favor of men than in women in the U 17 Football National Team. Different results were obtained according to gender in different sports branches at elite level in the literature and the reaction did not change according to gender

Futbol Milli Takım Sporcularının Görsel ve İşitsel Reaksiyon Sürelerinin Cinsiyet Açısından Değerlendirilmesi

Futbolcuların fiziksel ve fizyolojik özellikleriyle ilgili çok sayıda çalışma olmakla birlikte, futbolcuların reaksiyon özelliklerini anlatan özellikle de cinsiyetleri karşılaştıran çalışmaların oldukça sınırlı olduğu söylenebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı erkek ve kadın futbol milli takım sporcularının görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon sürelerinin cinsiyet açısından değerlendirilmesidir. Bu araştırmaya U 17 Erkek ve Kadın Futbol Milli Takımında oynayan erkek (n=30; yaş 16.54±2.10 yıl; boy uzunluğu 176.60±6.81 cm; vücut ağırlığı 69.20±8.97 kg) ve kadın (n=18; yaş 17.44±1.81 yıl; boy uzunluğu 163.72±5.45 cm; vücut ağırlığı 54.23±6.48 kg) futbolcu katılmıştır. Katılımcılara görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon testleri uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler aritmetik ortalama, standart sapma, minimum ve maksimum olarak sunulmuştur. Tüm istatistiksel değerlendirmeler SPSS 21 paket programı yardımıyla yapılmıştır. Yapılan incelemede erkek futbolcuların görsel reaksiyon değerleri sağ el: 193.46±15.37 ms; sol el: 191.10±23.55 ms; işitsel reaksiyon değerleri ise sağ el: 171.40±26.45 ms; sol el 165.23±27.37 ms olarak tespit edilmiştir. Kadın futbolcuların ise; görsel reaksiyon değerleri sağ el: 187.66±47.14 ms; sol el: 210.44±47.96 ms; işitsel reaksiyon değerleri sağ el: 217.72±69.30 ms; sol el 204.05±49.13 ms olarak tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, performansın temel belirleyicilerinden olan görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon sürelerinin U 17 Futbol Milli Takım Sporcularında kadınlara göre erkekler lehine daha düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, literatürdeki elit düzeydeki farklı spor branşlarında da cinsiyete göre farklı sonuçlar elde edildiği, reaksiyonun cinsiyete göre değişmediği görülmüştür.
