Comparison of Mental Rota tion and Reaction Time Performances In Deaf Athletes And Non-Athletes
Öz: The coordination of perceptual-cognitive and motor processes is one of the main components that determine performance in sports. However, there are many factors that affect these components, such as disability, gender, sports, etc. The aim of the this study is to determine the mental rotation and reaction time performance of deaf athletes and non-athletes in terms of sports and gender. 42 heavy hearing impaired (90+ dB) students, 22 males and 20 females, participated in the study. 22 of the participants were deaf basketball athletes and 20 were deaf non-athletes. Both mental rotation and reaction time performance measurement tests of the participants were carried out with a computer-based software MP36 (Biopac System, USA). Indipendent Samples T test and (multivariate) Manova tests were performed to evaluate the data. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups, neither mental rotation nor reaction time variables, in terms of sports. But there were statistically significant differences between the groups in both mental rotation and reaction time variables, in terms of gender and sport. As a result, it was found that male athletes are better than women who are not athletes in some of the mental rotation and reaction time variables. Another important result was that there was no significant difference in both mental rotation and reaction time variables between deaf male non athletes and female non athletes. As a result, it is suggested that doing sports improves both mental rotation and reaction time of hearing impaired male athletes

Independent Samples T-test and (multivariate) Manova tests were performed to evaluate the data. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups, neither mental rotation nor reaction time variables, in terms of doing sport. However, there were statistically significant differences between the groups in both mental rotation and reaction time variables regarding gender and doing sport. As a result, it was found that male athletes are better than women who are not athletes in some of the mental rotation and reaction time variables. Another important result was no significant difference in both mental rotation and reaction time variables between deaf male non-athletes and female non-athletes. As a result, it is suggested that doing sports improves both the mental rotation and reaction time of deaf male athletes.
