Two reaction time tests -visual and auditory dominant hand reaction tests- were administered to the subjects. Each test was performed three times and the best result was recorded. The data was analyzed using SPSS 23.0 package program. In the study, Shapiro-Wilk test was performed to determine if the numerical variables were normally distributed, and Mann Whitney U test was performed to see if there is any difference between the groups. p KW - Kickbox KW - Taekwondo KW - Reaction time CR - 1.
