Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of anaerobic fatigue on hand-eye
coordination and reaction time.
Method: This study was conducted with 29 male volunteer students studying at the School
Physical Education and Sport at Akdeniz University in 2014-2015 education year. In order to
determine effects of anaerobic fatique on hand-eye coordination and reaction time we used
Two Arm Coordination Test (Lafayette Instrument) and Reaction Time Test (ProComp
Infinity Device, Biograph Infinity Program, Reaction Time Suit Softwar). We applied all
tests to participants in rest and after Wingate Anaerobic Power Test (WAnT).
Findings: As a result of hand-eye coordination test it was determined that all the variables did
not show normal distribution as a result of statistical analysis of the values obtained.
According to Wilcoxon Sign Test results, rest and after WAnT clockwise time (Z = -4.35, p
<.01), anticlockwise time (Z = -4.05, p <.01) and anticlockwise error (Z = -2.18, p =.03)
statistically significant difference was found. There was no statistically significant difference
between clockwise errors, rest and after WAnT condition measurements (p >.05).The
clockwise time obtained after WAnT, the clockwise reversed time and the clockwise reversed
number of errors were observed to be lower than the resting measures. When the reaction time
values were examined, the values revealed from the dominant hand did not show normality
distribution. But the values revealed from the non-dominant hand showed a normality
distribution. According to Wilcoxon Sign Test results, there was no statistically significant
difference between rest and after WAnT dominant hand reaction time values (Z=.24, p=.81).
The paired t-test showed that the value of non-dominant hand reaction time was similar rest
and after WAnT condition measurements, but the difference was not statistically significant (t
= -1.52, p =.14). The value of non-dominant hand reaction after WAnT condition
measurements increased but there was no statisticaly significant differences.
Results: It is seen that fatigue does not affect the reaction time and hand-eye coordination
negatively according to the obtained results, but it is seen that even in the case of fatigue even
with the increase of the learning levels of the participants, the results are better than the first
cases. The reason for this is thought to be the learning effects of test protocol.
