Abstract
We investigated sports exercise effect on shortening of saccadic reaction time associated with neck extensor muscle activity. Saccadic reaction time was measured in neck rest position, 20° neck flexion, and 30 % muscle contraction of the shoulder girdle elevators for two groups. These groups were an untrained group that has never belonged to any sports club (UT group) and a group that has belonged to high-speed ball sports clubs (HS group). In the neck flexion and 30 % muscle contraction conditions, there was a significant shortening of the reaction time for the HS group. For the UT group, no significant shortening was found in those conditions, and the reaction time in the 30 % contraction was rather significantly longer than that in the rest position. Sports experience pursuing a high-speed ball will be effective in the shortening of the saccadic reaction time associated with the activity of neck extensors. Verf.-Referat
