Decrease in reaction time for volleyball athletes during saccadic eye movement task: A preliminary study with evoked potentials

This preliminary study investigated the differences in event-related potential and reaction time under two groups (athletes vs. non-athletes). The P300 was analyzed for Fz, Cz, and Pz electrodes in thirty-one healthy volunteers divided into two groups (volleyball athletes and non-athletes). In addit...

Description
Summary:This preliminary study investigated the differences in event-related potential and reaction time under two groups (athletes vs. non-athletes). The P300 was analyzed for Fz, Cz, and Pz electrodes in thirty-one healthy volunteers divided into two groups (volleyball athletes and non-athletes). In addition, the participants performed a saccadic eye movement task to measure reaction time. The EEG analysis showed that the athletes, in comparison to the no-athletes, have differences in the P300 in the frontal area (p = 0.021). In relation to reaction time, the results show lower reaction time for athletes (p = 0.001). The volleyball athletes may present a greater allocation of attention during the execution of the inhibition task, since they have a lower reaction time for responses when compared to non-athletes.
