Bocce and archery can be categorized as static sports branches. These branches involve the athletes focusing on the target in a static position and require them to use reaction time effectively in the process of deciding and performing the shot. The aim of this research was to compare the reaction time of the athletes who participated in archery and bocce training for at least two years. Sixteen Olympic archers and 19 bocce pétanque athletes participated in the research. The Nelson hand reaction time test was used to determine the reaction time. For statistical analysis, since the distribution was normal, independent samples t-test was used to compare the two groups according to branch and gender. There was no a statistically significant difference between two groups according to branch and gender (p>.05). The reason why the reaction time did not differ according to the branch and gender might be that the two groups were similar in terms of physical and biomotor characteristics. It is recommended that new studies focus on the effectiveness of training practices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
