Abstract
The attentional
skill, present in both situations
of professional and amateur sport activities, can be attributed to the
quality and quantity of inputs that the different situations suggest.
The time of reaction represents the feedback, measured in time unit, to
the inputs proposed. The experimentation made with an observatory
method and through the timekeeping, has been done a sample of 36
students-athletes, selected independently from their gender and age,
they’ve been divided into three different levels. The first
level included athletes who play or had played volleyball
professionally (Major League); level II included
athletes-students who have played volleyball on an agonistic level (I
Division- Amateur Competition), the level III includes students who
have never played volleyball on an agonistic level but able to support
the effort of a competition. The results have highlighted how
the level 1 of the tested component athletes-students, has
given, also in percentage, the most convincing results, therefore it
must be considered the trainability of the attentional and
reactive characteristic, creating the basis for a training plan within
diagnostic information safe and appropriate.
