Do sport-specific demands lead to sensory-motor changes?

As demandas específicas do esporte levam a mudanças sensório motoras?
Abstract (en)
The study investigated how sport-specific environmental demands influence reaction time. Fifty-six women were divided into groups by age (Adults and Children) and sport-specific sensory-motor demands (Volleyball, Track and Field, Control). The Reaction Time task measured sensorimotor performance, prompting participants to quickly respond to visual stimuli by pressing the corresponding key. Reaction time was evaluated under two conditions with varying stimuli counts. Adults outperformed children in reaction time regardless of sport or age group. However, no significant differences were observed between sports within each age group. Additionally, sport experience did not predict sensorimotor performance according to regression analysis. These findings suggest that age-related changes significantly impact sensorimotor performance, while sport-specific environmental demands and experience have limited influence under non-specific conditions.

Este estudio investigó cómo las demandas ambientales específicas del deporte influyen en el tiempo de reacción. Cincuenta y seis mujeres se dividieron en grupos por edad (Adultos y Niños) y demandas sensoriomotoras específicas del deporte (Voleibol, Atletismo, Control). La tarea de Tiempo de Reacción midió el rendimiento sensoriomotor, pidiendo a los participantes que respondieran rápidamente a estímulos visuales presionando la tecla correspondiente. Se evaluó el tiempo de reacción bajo dos condiciones que variaban en función del número de estímulos utilizados. En la comparación entre edades, los resultados indicaron superioridad de los adultos en relación con los niños. Sin embargo, no se observaron diferencias significativas entre los deportes dentro de cada grupo de edad. Además, la experiencia deportiva no predijo el rendimiento sensoriomotor según el análisis de regresión. Estos hallazgos sugieren que los cambios relacionados con la edad mejoran significativamente en el rendimiento sensoriomotor, mientras que las demandas ambientales específicas del deporte y la experiencia tienen una influencia limitada bajo condiciones no específicas.
Abstract (pt)
Este estudo investigou como as demandas ambientais específicas do esporte influenciam o tempo de reação. Cinquenta e seis mulheres foram divididas em grupos por idade (Adultos e Crianças) e demandas sensório motoras específicas do esporte (Voleibol, Atletismo, Controle). A tarefa de Tempo de Reação mediu o desempenho sensório motor, pedindo aos participantes que respondessem rapidamente a estímulos visuais pressionando a tecla correspondente. O tempo de reação foi avaliado sob duas condições que variavam o número de estímulos utilizados. Na comparação entre idades, os resultados indicaram superioridade dos adultos em relação às crianças. No entanto, não foram observadas diferenças significativas entre os esportes dentro de cada grupo etário. Além disso, a experiência esportiva não previu o desempenho sensório motor de acordo com a análise de regressão. Esses resultados sugerem que as mudanças relacionadas à idade impactam significativamente o desempenho sensório motor, enquanto as demandas ambientais específicas do esporte e a experiência têm influência limitada sob condições não específicas.
