Reaction Speed and Acceleration Assessment

The 30 m test in the static position was chosen, which was applied on an athletic track with a flat and consistent surface; cones delimited the distance, and the time data obtained during the execution was recorded (Polar RS100; Polar Electro Oy, Kempele, Finland). The purpose of this test is to evaluate the reaction speed and acceleration of the participant. It is a differentiated test compared to other tests that measure the displacement speed. A level of reliability between 0.88 and 0.95 has been found, which varies according to the age and the terrain used, preferably on an athletic track [23 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
