Abstract:
Background: Reaction time is the measure to know how person responds to any given stimulus. A Stimulus can be auditory, visual or both. BMI is index found by dividing weight to square of height. A quick reaction time is important for sports for better results. Motorsport is not only recreational activity but also high-profile international sport. A lot of studies have been conducted in motorsports for technical aspects of car, but very limited studies had been conducted regarding motor, perceptual, and cognitive skills of athlete performance in motorsports. INQUISIT 4.0 is application-based reaction time test which had a good inter and intra rater reliability compared to the ruler drop test. Methodology: A pilot Study was carried out in which Permission from Ethical Committee had been taken. Consent from participants and authorities had been taken. 15 Participants were selected according to inclusion criteria. BMI was calculated. 5 racers from each BMI group were taken. Visual and Auditory reaction time was measured with INQUISIT 4.0 application. Result: Using ANOVA test, the mean difference for all reaction time tests for all the BMI categories was statistically insignificant. Conclusion: Body Mass Index (BMI) is not having effect on auditory and visual reaction time in formula car racers. Normal category has quicker reaction time response than underweight and overweight category
