Physical fitness and human performance
physicalfitnessh00lamb.pdf (3.044Mb)Abstract
The relationship between physical fitness and performance
as determined by psychomotor reaction times and psychological
state was investigated in an experiment using two different
exercise programs and thirty subjects. There were ten subjects
in each exercise group and the remaining ten were in a control
group.
The statistical tests used in this investigation suggest
that the subjects in the exercise programs significantly
lowered their psychomotor reaction times as a result of their
exercise while the psychomotor reaction times of the control
group were unchanged. No statistical evidence of a change in
the psychological state of the subjects as a result of exercise
was shown.
