15-16 Yaş Yıldızlar Kategorisi Güreşçilerinde Kilo Kaybının Reaksiyon Sürelerine Etkisi

Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate the effect of weight loss on simple reaction times in star category wrestlers. The research consisted of 24 wrestlers with an average age of 15.41±0.77, an average height of 170.33±7.72 and an average body weight of 66.04±16.79 in the Big Stars category group competition held in Malatya. Hubbard Scientific 6027 device was used to measure the reaction times of the participants. After taking measurements of their height, body weight, and simple visual and auditory reaction times, participants were instructed to shed 4% of their own body weight. Measurements were taken again after losing 4% of their weight. The SPSS package program was used to examine the study's data. As a result of the findings of the study, a statistically significant result was observed between the body weight pre-test and post-test values of the participant group (p0.05), there was no significant difference between the left-hand auditory pretest posttest values. As a result, while the left hand visual reaction time remained unchanged, the right hand visual, right hand auditory, and left hand auditory reaction times all suffered due to the athletes wrestling in the star category losing 4% of their body weight.
