“…Factors that may influence the performer's reaction time are: gender and age, psychological state, level of fitness, number of possible responses, time available, intensity of the stimuli, experience, health, body temperature (the colder the slower), personality (extroverts react quicker), state of alertness or length of neural pathways. It is wellknown that athletes have better reaction time than non-athletes (Akarsu et Tønnessen et al, 2013), that tired people react slower than well-rested ones (Aydin et al, 2016) and that in children the reaction improves with age (Montes- Mico et al, 2000). And, of course, the reaction time depends on the type of reaction: simple reactions are characterized by a single signal and one previously known response action.…”
