Exercise provides multiple benefits to an individual. the beneficial effect of exercise on psychomotor performance is still subject of debate. This study was undertaken to determine the effect of short term exercise on auditory reaction time (ART) and visual reaction time (VRT). Fifty healthy subjects were included in the study, 25 of healthy male subjects who were not exercising forms (group I) and 25 healthy female subjects who did not perform any exercise forms (group II).
ART and VRT was recorded using digital display response time apparatus equipped with three lights (red, green and yellow) and three auditory stimuli (low, medium and high pitched sounds). The mean VRT of group II subjects (19.8 ±6.709) was significantly lower than that of group I (20.6 ±6.961) (P<0.001). The mean ART of group II subjects (31.9±5.160) was significantly lower than that of group I (32.9 ±5.950) (P<0.001). Auditory and visual reaction times was better in group II individual in both for forms of exercises.
