A Comparative Study on Visual Reaction Time (VRT) for Yellow Color between Yoga Performers and Zumba Performers

Introduction: Exercise, Yoga and Visual reaction time may be associated in a variety of ways, however the connection is not always obvious. The interval between the presentation of a stimulus and the commencement of a response is referred to as reaction time. Aims and Objective: The present study was done to know the effect of Yoga performers and Zumba performers on Visual Reaction Time (VRT) for Yellow Color. Method: In the present study after taking informed consent and ethical clearance, data from 50 Yoga performers and 50 Zumba performers (of age group 20- 40 years) were collected and the visual reaction time for yellow colour was measured while performing Zumba and yoga respectively. Result: Statistical results reveal that there is no significant difference in the mean value of VRT (yellow color) between Yoga and Zumba Performers. Conclusion: Since the difference is not statistically significant, we can clearly conclude that yoga and physical exercises (Zumba) both offer unique benefits for cognition and reaction time in their own ways.
