This study analysed the effect of a food supplement, matcha tea extract, on simple and complex reaction time. The main objective was to verify the positive effect of this product on the speed of reaction to a visual stimuli after the extract was given. After the extract was given, selected individuals (n=31) were tested for simple and complex reaction time performance. A double blind experiment method with an added placebo was used to obtain the results. Statistical analysis included the Wilcoxon test to analyse the effect of the extract. The majority of study participants showed a statistical significant difference for the measured variables of both complex and simple reaction times. The results confirmed the positive influence of matcha extract on the reaction time of the studied individuals. This suggests that this nutritional supplement is suitable for lowering either the simple or complex response time after a visual stimuli is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
