| Popis: | Background. Auditory and visual reaction time refers to the duration between the introduction of a sound or light and the onset of a response. It is an important aspect of human behaviour, influencing performance in various activities ranging from daily tasks to sports and emergency situations. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to investigate reaction time (auditory and visual) as a component of skill-related fitness between male college students practicing yoga and those who do not. Materials and methods. A total of forty male college-going students (N = 40) were randomly selected to participate in this study. Out of the total, twenty participants (n = 20) were dedicated yoga practitioners actively involved in district and state-level yoga competitions. The remaining twenty individuals (n = 20) followed a sedentary lifestyle and were not involved in yoga practices. The subjectsʼ ages ranged from 17 to 25 years, encompassing a cohort of young adults. The data pertaining to visual reaction time (VRT) and auditory reaction time (ART) was collected using an audio-visual reaction timer. Each participant performed the task thrice, and the mean score was used to indicate the experimental reaction time in milliseconds (ms). Descriptive statistics and the independent samples t-test were subsequently conducted to evaluate the significance level, with a predetermined threshold set at p .054, and for ART between yogic and non-yogic practitioners, t(38) = 2.12, and p |
