Abstract
The subject of the study was to verify the influence of concentration on decision-making speed and agility in a motor task. The concentration was simulated through an ascending alternative time limit (+1, +2s). The object of the investigation was a group of 26 active athletes (n = 26, 180.62 cm; 20.12 years old), of which 15 were men and 11 were women. The average time per individual stimulus and the total time (t = 0.01s) were evaluated. The evaluation of the significance of differences according to the length of concentration did not confirm significant differences in decision-making speed and agility in the average reaction time in men [Sig.= 0.603 - Sig = 0.973; p > α ]; of women [Sig.= 0.062 - Sig = 0.085; p > α ]; nor in the total time of the simulated motor task men; [Sig.= 0.284 - Sig = 0.887; p > α ]; women [Sig.= 0.082 - Sig = 0.772 ; p > α ]. We note that the influence of concentration on decision-making speed and agility has not been proven.
