Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between psychological and physical traits in 7 female university kendo players using measures of reaction times in response to light and sound stimuli. The experiment was conducted with 7 participants who competed in the 40th All-Japan Female Students KENDO Championship. The stimuli were light (red) and sound (1,000 Hz pure tone). Reactions were measured as simple reaction times, including the time for the partial-body reaction (a key press) and whole-body reaction (a forward step).
