“…Ertan et al (2005) stated that successful performance of an archer is related to having a quick reaction to the clicker's fall (sound) of the bow in archery. Similar to the archery, in the sprint start, auditory reaction time has also an effect on the sprint performance (Pilianidis et al, 2012;Pain & Hibbs, 2007). The obtained result especially in right arm ranking is consistent with the positive effect of auditory reaction time on the overall performance.…”

SUMMARY:The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictors contributing to be in the first three places with right and left arm in armwrestling. Seventy-three male senior armwrestlers competed in Turkish National Championship voluntarily participated in this study. Some participants competed with both arms. Two samples were composed of according to the participant competition category, for right (69 participants) and left arm (65 participants). The data were collected from eight different weight classes. Handgrip strength, auditory reaction time, forearm length, and forearm circumference were determined as the predictors. All the measurements were taken after weigh-ins had been done and before the first day of national championship competition. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to predict whether a competitor in armwrestling would be in the first three places either with right or left arm, to be a winner or non-winner. Relative handgrip strength was found a significant predictor for both right and left arm ranking (p < 0.05). Auditory reaction time was found a significant predictor only for right arm ranking (p < 0.05) and forearm circumference was found a significant predictor only for left arm ranking (p < 0.05). These results suggest that strength can be viewed as the main predictor in left arm ranking; however, auditory reaction time is also an important factor to be in the first three places in right arm ranking. Thus, competitors should also focus to improve this perceptual skill.

“…The duration of BMX cycling races have been recorded between 30 s to 50 s (Cowell et al 2012) and therefore the sport is considered predominantly as a sprint type event (Zabala et al 2008). The importance of the start in sprint type events has been reported previously in a number of sports including: speed skating (Maw et al 2006;Muehlbauer 2010;Muehlbauer & Schindler 2011) and 100m, 200m and 110m hurdles in athletics (Pilianidis et al 2012). …”

“…L'amélioration du temps de réac-tion est indissociable de la recherche de la performance dans la quasi-totalité des sports. Chez les sprinteurs, le temps de réaction contribue à 1 à 2 % au temps d'arrivée [58]. Une étude indique que le port de protège-dents de performance améliorerait le temps de réaction face à des stimuli auditifs (exemple du starter) [59].…”

Résumé -Introduction :Depuis leur apparition dans les années 1890, les protège-dents ont fait l'objet de nombreux travaux de recherche. Sur la base des résultats de ces études, le port d'un protège-dents est recommandé pour prévenir la survenue de lésions orofaciales lors de la pratique de certaines activités sportives. Depuis les années 1960, un nouveau type de protège-dents est apparu : le protège-dents de performance. Selon ses concepteurs et ses fabricants, ce dispositif permet notamment d'améliorer l'endurance, la force, la puissance musculaire, le temps de réaction, l'amplitude et la précision des mouvements, les capacités de récupération, la proprioception et de diminuer la fatigue et le stress. Revue de la littérature : Une revue de 50 ans de recherches relatives au protège-dents de performance met en évidence des résultats contradictoires. Ce constat est la conséquence de l'inhomogénéité des études qui portent sur des protège-dents, des paramètres physiologiques et biologiques, des groupes musculaires différents, des activités sportives différentes. Conclusion : Actuellement, l'amélioration des performances par le port d'un protège-dents est une hypothèse. Cependant, les essais cliniques contrôlés randomisés les plus récents tendent à la valider. L'harmonisation des protocoles de recherche pourrait donc permettre de transformer cette hypothèse en certitude dans les années à venir.Abstract -Potential of mouthguards for enhancing sport and physical performances: a review of 50 years of medical research. Introduction: Since their appearance in the 1890s, mouthguards have been the subject of numerous research studies. Based on the results of these studies, the use of mouthguard is recommended for the prevention of orofacial lesions in some sports. Since the mid-1960, a new type of mouthguard appeared: the performance mouthguard. According to its manufacturers and creators, this appliance particularly enables to improve endurance, strength, muscular power, reaction time, precision of movements, recovery capacity, range of motion, concentration and proprioception, and to decrease fatigue and stress. Literature review: A review of 50 years of medical research on performance mouthguards shows contradictory results. This reflects the inhomogeneity of studies which focus on different mouthguards, parameters recorded, muscular groups and sports. Conclusion: At the moment, the enhancement of performance by using a mouthguard is an assumption. However, the latest blinded controlled clinical trials tend to validate this assumption. Harmonization of research protocols would allow this assumption to become evidence.
