Abstract
El sistema visual tiene un rol importante en el procesamiento de información de nuestro
entorno y por consiguiente en la planificación y ejecución de respuestas a ciertos estÃmulos. La
visión deportiva es el conjunto de técnicas encaminadas a mejorar la función visual con la
finalidad de incrementar el rendimiento deportivo, teniendo en cuenta habilidades especÃficas
requeridas para cada deporte. En el deporte se tiende a evaluar la agilidad de los estÃmulos
sensoriales a través del tiempo de reacción (TR) y el tiempo de movimiento (TM).
EspecÃficamente, el tenis de campo es un deporte activo, cambiante y de movimientos rápidos,
en el cual los atletas deben reaccionar lo más rápido posible (reacción de estÃmulos) a las
acciones del oponente (ejecutoria). Por tanto, el propósito del estudio fue comparar el TR y el
TM en tres clasificaciones (2.5, 3.5 y 4.5) de tenistas adultos masculinos en PR. Se obtuvo una
muestra del n=30 tenistas masculinos (10 por categorÃa) entre las edades de 21 a 55 años. Los
resultados indican que no hubo diferencias significativas entre las dos variables (TR y TM) y las
tres clasificaciones de los tenistas. Este estudio pudo confirmar lo expuesto en la literatura,
basado en que el TM fue menor en los atletas de mejor clasificación deportiva (3.5) y el TR fue
mayor en el grupo con mayor edad. Este estudio pudo proveer información base sobre TR y TM,
el cual podrÃan asistir en elaborar procesos de entrenamiento visual para los en tenistas de PR. El
deporte en PR debe encaminar sus entrenamientos en el adiestramiento visual y cognitivo de los
estÃmulos visuales.
The visual system has an important role in the process of information of our environment and consequently in the planification and execution to certain stimulus responses. Sport vision is the set of techniques aimed at improving visual function in order to increase sports performance, taking into account specific skills required to each sport. In sport, the agility of sensor stimulus tends to be evaluated through reaction time (RT) and movement time (MT). Specifically, tennis is an active, fast moving, and changeable sport in which athletes must react as quickly as possible (stimulus reaction) to the opponent’s actions (enforceability). Therefore, the purpose of the study was to compare the RT and the TM in three classifications (2.5,3.5 and 4.5) of adult male tennis players in PR. A sample of N= 30 male tennis players (10 per category) between the ages of 21 to 55 years was obtained. The results indicated that there were no significance differences between the two variables (RT and TM) and the three classifications of the tennis players. This study was able to confirm the literature, because the TM was lower in the athletes with the greater classification (4.5) and the TR was higher in the older group (3.5). This study was able to provide baseline information on RT and TM, which could assist in developing visual training processes for PR tennis players. Sports in PR should route their training in the visual and cognitive training of visual stimulus.
