Study about the computer-imposed time and the self-imposed tempo coefficients in determining intersegmental coordination- implications for individual and team sports

The purpose of this study consists in the investigation of some psychomotor related parameters determining motor coordination (performance coefficient, self-imposed tempo, personal optimum rhythm) that influence the performing of different technical elements. The computerized assessment RCMV, consists in issuing a response by activating the handles or pedals (left/right) according to the squares’ position and number, once these appear on the screen. A number of 108 athletes participated in the study, out of which 52 performed individual sports and 56 performed team sports. Using t test, significant differences between subjects were identified, (p < 0,05), concerning intersegmental coordination.
