Abstract:
Aims and objectives: The present study was designed to study the influence of various phases of menstrual cycle on visual online reaction time. Material and Methods: Fifty females in the age group of 18-25 years were recruited for the study. Visual reaction time test was taken online. Statistical Analysis: Results were analysed by ANOVA with SPSS version 17.0 using paired ‘t’ test. Results: showed that there was significant prolongation of reaction time (p<0.05) in luteal phase as compared to follicular and menstrual phase. Conclusions: Variation in visual reaction time could be due to the fluctuating levels the female sex hormones across the menstrual cycle.
Keywords: Follicular phase, Luteal phase, Online reaction time
