THE USE OF COMPUTER TESTS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF CENTRAL AND PERIPHERAL VISUAL REACTION TIME IN SPORTSMEN-STUDENTS

In this article we describe a new computer program for assessment and correction of central and peripheral visual reaction time in sportsmen-students. The program has a realistic design containing elements of video games, which makes the process of computer testing more effective and productive. On the example of a group of ten 17-19-year-old sportsmen-students with low-medium qualification we demonstrate the improvement of central and peripheral reaction times by 10%-15% on the average after one-month special training including our computer tests three-five times per a week for about 10-15 minutes daily.
