Sprint starts and the minimum auditory reaction time

Article Abstract:

Reaction time in athletes performing sprint starts in four conditions was calculated applying starting blocks instrumented with piezoelectric force transducers in each footplate that were synchronized with the starting signal. Results present that the neuromuscular-physiological component of simple auditory reaction times can be less than 85 ms and that electromyography (EMG) latencies can be less than 60 ms.

Elite football on artificial turf versus natural grass: movement patterns, technical standards, and player impressions

Article Abstract:

A study to examine movement, ball skills, and the impressions of Swedish elite football players during competitive games on artificial turf and natural grass is conducted. Results show that less sliding tackles and more short passes were observed in the artificial turf than on natural grass.
