Simple reaction time

no changein humans1

1 study
  1. Drums alive has no effect on simple reaction time in humans.

    “No significant group differences were observed for simple reaction time.”

    Human trialCompared with age- and sex-matched stretching participants during a simulated brake-onset taskdrumming-based aerobic workout program10 weeks

Total reaction time

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Drums alive decreases total reaction time in humans (Mean change −0.080 (SD 0.089) versus 0.059 (SD 0.165); units not stated).

    “total reaction time, with Drums Alive participants showing a greater improvement (M = -0.080, SD = 0.089) compared to the stretching group (M = 0.059, SD = 0.165).”

Movement time

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Drums alive decreases movement time in humans (Mean change −0.054 (SD 0.061) versus 0.006 (SD 0.044); units not stated).

    “There was a statistically significant intervention by time interaction for movement time, with Drums Alive participants showing a greater improvement”
