Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the electromechanical response times of muscles and to assess the effect of repeatability of the performed task on the indicated times: TRT (total reaction time), PMT (premotor time), and EMD (electromechanical delay). The test consisted in squeezing the dynamometer with maximum force in the shortest possible time after hearing an audible signal that repeated 15 times at 5-second intervals. The analysis clearly shows that there is an influence of the repeatability of the performed task on the designated reaction times after the occurrence of the sound stimulus. It was noticed that the applied rhythmic sound stimulations result in a shortening of the premotor reaction time.
