Abstract:

This study aims to compare some physical and physiological parameters with reaction time on football and tennis players 17 football players and 11 tennis players of university students participated in this study as volunteers. Football players' biologic age, height, weight were 24,3±3,0 years, 1,78±0,1 m 72,7 ±6,9 kg and tennis players' were 22,9±2,6 years, 1,79±0,1 m 73,9±4,7 kg. Volunteers' systolic and diastolic and average arterial blood pressure, rest heart rate and upper-low extremity's reaction time were measured. The differences between the findings in football and tennis players were computer-analyzed using student t-test. According to data, it was determined that the differences between football players and tennis players about age, weight, height, rest heart rate were meaningless, differences between sistolic blood pressure football players 121,8±4,7mmHg, tennis players 126,4±4,1 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure football players 80,0±3,4 mmHg, tennis players 82,7±2,6 mmHg value were meaningful. Football players' right hand reaction time 0.1 ± 0.02 msn, left hand reaction time 0.12 ± 0.03 msn, right leg reaction time 0.11 ± 0.03 msn and left leg reaction time 0.13 ± 0.03 msn were found. And differences between volunteers of left and right hand and left and right leg reaction times values were meaningful for football players. According to data it is concluded that both football and tennis players' physical and physiological abilities have been affected from branches' principles
