This study was conducted to compare the reaction times of elite male taekwondo and kickboxing athletes. A total of 44 athletes, 23 male taekwondo practitioners age: 17.1±0.4, body weight: 59.9±1.89 kg, height: 171.9±1.96 cm and 21 male kickboxers age:16.9±0.34, body weight: 67.2±2.06 kg, height: 175.6±2.16 cm , participated in the study. Two reaction time tests -visual and auditory dominant hand reaction tests- were administered to the subjects. Each test was performed three times and the best result was recorded. The data was analyzed using SPSS 23.0 package program. In the study, Shapiro-Wilk test was performed to determine if the numerical variables were normally distributed, and Mann Whitney U test was performed to see if there is any difference between the groups. p
