The
aim of this study was to determine the reaction times of physically disabled
International badminton players, and to analyze the effects of badminton on
their reaction times. The study was based on physically handicapped badminton
players from different countries (Turkey, France, Spain, Russia, Poland,
Thailand, India, Bulgaria, and England) who attended 3rd International Enes-Cup
Physically Disabled Badminton Tournament (experiment, n=39, 15 females-24
males), and physically handicapped individuals who do not deal with any sports
(control, n=21, 9 females-12 males), totally 60 participants. Forming the
research group, the players were divided into two groups according to the
disability classification of the International Paralympic Committee, SL-3,
SL-4, SU-5 (playing on foot, n=23), and WH-1, WH-2 (playing on wheelchairs,
n=12). At the end of the study, it was determined that there was a
statistically significant difference in between the visual-audial reaction
times of the male players compared to male control group, and in between visual
reaction times of the female players compared to female control group
(p<0.05). As a conclusion, it was detected that the reaction times of both
male and female players were lower (better) than the control group.
