Abstract
This study is based upon experiments carried out by the writer with the assistance of fourteen undergraduate women students at the University of Maine for the purpose of studying:
1. The relationship between the reaction time of the foot start or crouching start as in running events, and the voluntary reaction of the hand to a given stimulus.
2. The constancy of this relationship in the individual and in the group.
3. The central tendency and variability of the reaction times of the athletes in comparison with the non-athletes.
4. And the extent to which learning affects this reaction time and the variability.
