Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of warm-up activity on the visual response time of the dominant and non-dominant hand and foot in basketball players. A total of 13 male basketball athletes with an age of 14.38 ± .506 years, height 180.15 ± 8.07 cm, body weight 66.54 ± 13.73 and sports experience 4.69 ± 13.73 years were voluntarily included in the study. Visual response time of the dominant and non-dominant hand and foot were measured before and after the warm-up protocol. The warm-up protocol consisted of a 20-minute warm-up activity including basketball-specific movements and 5-minute stretching movements. Visual response time of the athletes were measured with the Blazepod system. There was no significant difference in the group main effect and time x group interaction of the athletes' hand visual response times after warm-up (F=2.403; p>0.05; F=0.170; p>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the time effect (F=22.943; p<0.05). In the comparison of visual response times of both dominant hand (p=0.001) and non-dominant hand (p=0.005), a significant decrease was found in visual response times after warm-up compared to before warm-up. There was no significant difference between the visual response time of the dominant and non-dominant foot after warm-up (U=60.50; p=0.506). No significant difference was detected in the comparison of the visual response times of the dominant foot before warm-up with those after warm-up (Z=-1.804; p=0.071). Similarly, no significant difference was found after warming up in the non-dominant hand (t=2.150; p=0.055). It can be said that the warm-up protocol applied to basketball players increased the visual response times of the dominant and non-dominant hand and this increase was more significant in the dominant hand.
