| description | Background and Study Aim. In the modern fast-changing world, university students face a range of complex situations and challenges that require quick and accurate decision-making. In this context, the motor responses of students are crucial for successful adaptation to contemporary challenges. This is particularly important when students live in areas of military conflict. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the choice reaction and reaction time to visual stimuli through an online simulation test in university students.
Material and Methods. The study involved students from three Ukrainian universities (physical culture faculties). A total of 86 students participated (men – n=38; women – n=48). An online simulation test was used to assess the visuo-motor reaction to visual stimuli. Information about the participants was collected through Google Form. For statistical analysis, the PyCharm CE development environment and various Python programming language libraries were used.
Results. Differences in average visuo-motor reaction metrics were established among students from three universities. According to the test results, 9 men (27 clicks in 30 seconds) and 12 women (about 25 clicks in 30 seconds) were assigned to the first quartile. The best result was shown by students from university 2 (0.737 ± 0.19 ms). The best results by universities: men – university 3 (0.73 ± 0.106 ms); women – university 2 (0.785 ± 0.208 ms). It was determined that variations in time intervals between clicks decrease towards the end of the test.
Conclusions. The impact of the conflict in Ukraine goes beyond direct physical threats, infiltrating the everyday existence of those in the impacted regions, encompassing college students. In such scenarios, prompt physical responses are vital for effectively adjusting to current challenges. |
