Resumen

Introducción: La abundante literatura existente acerca del tiempo de reacción electiva (TRE) y el rendimiento deportivo en los deportes de combate todavía no ha mostrado resultados concluyentes sobre la relación entre ambos, esto posiblemente sea debido al hecho de haber comparado grupos muy diferentes (por ejemplo, deportistas y no deportistas). Así, este estudio fue diseñado para determinar si el TRE predice el nivel deportivo en el combate de karate (kumite). Método: 123 deportistas especialistas en kumite, desde nivel regional hasta nivel internacional (incluyendo 11 campeones del mundo), y 32 personas sin experiencia en karate realizaron un test de TRE en el que debían responder a un estímulo no específico (un cuadrado negro que aparecía en diferentes posiciones de una pantalla de ordenador) pulsando la tecla correspondiente. Resultados: El análisis de regresión lineal múltiple mostró que la edad y el sexo predijeron de manera débil aunque significativa el TRE, pero no lo hizo el nivel deportivo. La precisión de la respuesta (aciertos-errores) no se vio afectada por ninguno de estos factores. Conclusión: El nivel deportivo en kumite no depende del TRE. Así, esta variable debería usarse con cautela en el entrenamiento o en la detección de talentos deportivos.
