Abstract

The purpose of the research presented in this paper was to examine how reaction time can be influenced using a combined training method with technical-tactical and psychological preparation. We conducted the research via two experiments: - The first experiment was the measurement of the speed of response in top karate competitors using a personal computer and Java software application through the tests for simple reaction, the reaction by choice, and discrimination. - The second experiment was the measurement of the speed of response using PLC (programmable logic controller) of specific hand and leg karate strikes. The results confirmed that in all cases such a model of training stabilizes the temporal structure of the movement actions and generally optimizes the psychophysical condition during the performance of the fighting techniques.
