“…Moreover, the results of our study highlight aspects that were previously studied and through which highlighted gender differences regarding reaction time between male and female samples [55,56]. Several studies have focused on identifying the factors that influence human reaction time [48,57,58]; the correlation between the typology of physical activities, the level of motor capacity, and the possibilities of developing reaction time [59,60]; and gender differences in the manifestation of human reactions in physical activities and different sports [61,62]. Moreover, our study is in line with the studies that follow the development possibilities of the reaction time in relation to the particularities of age and gender [63,64].…”

The purpose of the study was to design and implement, in the physical and sports education process and in the motor evaluation process, a program of exercises and specific tests to optimize reaction time by using the Fitlight technological systems in relation to the manual and foot laterality of the pupils and identification of gender differences regarding the development of reaction speed. The study included 231 pupils, between 10 and 11 years old, who were divided into two groups according to gender, as follows: the male sample included 109 (97.32%) subjects, and the female sample included 103 (94.45%) participants. All subjects were identified with right manual and foot laterality. Both samples performed a specific exercise program to optimize reaction time in relation to manual and foot laterality by using Fitlight technologies. In the study, four tests were applied in order to evaluate reaction times using Fitlight, two in relation to the manual laterality and two with foot laterality, and the results were statistically processed with IBM SPPS Statistic 24 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Through the comparative analysis of the samples and the progress aimed at optimizing the reaction time specific to our study, it was found that the female sample recorded greater progress at the level of manual laterality, both for the right hand and for the left one, while the sample of boys recorded significant progress in terms of improving reaction time at the level of right and left foot laterality. At the foot laterality level, the results for the executions with the right foot were better in the simple test with four Fitlight spotlights in a line, and for the complex test, with eight Fitlight spotlights in a square, the results were better in the executions with the left foot. This reveals the fact that the greater the execution complexity, the better the motor prevalence on the left side.

“…Third, when faced with a sudden disturbance coming towards the body, the postural control ability on the dominant side of the body will be stronger than that of the non-dominant side. In other words, because the dominant side of the subjects in this experiment was the right side, the muscle control ability of the right SOL would be more significant than that of the left side [ 31 ].…”

“…By ensuring that participants in this experiment were all right-footed, such results may be related to the greater conditioning of the dominant foot muscles. In a previous study, compared to the non-dominant side, the muscles on the dominant side showed a more pronounced adjustment ability [ 31 ].…”

“…These results suggest that the used motor tasks such as reaching or tracking in forward, lateral, and diagonal patterns facilitate whole-body coordination and postural stability during functional tasks. Some studies examined the center of pressure in children with CP during reaching tasks and showed that the severity of manual deficits is associated with larger compensatory adjustments and postural instability during reaching [ 46 , 47 ]. This evidence recommends that the content of rehabilitation programs should be directed towards enhancing postural control through upper body tasks such as reaching [ 48 ].…”
