There are some learners whose motor skills are difficult to improve. Therefore, physical education teachers consider that methods of improving learners with motor skill underachievement to be critically important. Since quick reactions to stimuli are important for doing various types of sports, such people have a disadvantage because the low speed of their reactions. Female university students with motor skill underachievement (n=10) and students with no underachievement (n=10) participated in this study. Their whole body reaction time was measured with an apparatus that required the participants to react to light and sound stimuli by jumping. Results indicated that the reaction times to both light and sound stimuli of students with motor skill underachievement were significantly slower in comparison to students with no underachievement, which is suggestive of differences in information processing and/or in neurophysiological processes between the two groups. The influence of non-specific general abilities including whole body reaction time in various exercises is discussed.
