Abstract:

The primary purpose of this study is to reveal the differences between different ground colors and the anticipation times of university athletes who do team and individual sports and investigate the relationships. Fifty student-athletes engaged in individual and team sports participated in the study voluntarily. Bassin Anticipation Timer device was used to determine the sensing time of the athletes. The results showed no significant difference between individual and team athletes' perception time values according to sports age and different ground colors. In addition, while there was a significant relationship between the sensing times of the athletes participating in the test on the red and orange background, no significant association was found on the other ground colors. Consequently, although the floors used in the sports are seen as separated from each other according to the colors, it is found that different floor colors do not affect the anticipation time of the individuals engaged in individual and team sports.
