no it means u predicted the timing of the gun rather than reacting to the bang

[@gabrielguerrero3404]

@@Nat-th8pb or I actually reacted that fast. It’s not impossible and you can mimic reacting to it like someone in track would if you close your eyes and wait for the actual sound of the bang

[@Nat-th8pb]

@@gabrielguerrero3404 it’s physically Impossible for anyone to react under 0.1s. That’s why it’s classed as false starting. Meaning that u did indeed just predicted the timing of the gun. If it was not a regular rhythm you wouldn’t be able to do that. What I expect happened was your motor function were already getting signals to begin pressing the button as it goes off. While that may seem like ur reacting fast. In reality it signals will have already crossed ur chemical synapses and back towards ur finger. Meaning ur cognitive was already in the process of getting ur body to more. That is a false start. Or if we’re giving u the benefit of the doubt it could possibly be that ur finger is less of a load for muscles to move as opposed to ur entire body. Making u click faster but ur reaction time would be no faster

@@OutperformOfficial It's so fast between the "SET' and the reaction signal but you get too anxious just fearing making a mistake on your reaction that your brain tricks you...

[@MrYass24]

I just realized something quite fascinating, when I open my eyes and I try to react based on the changing image I score an average of 0.170, but when I close my eyes and try to react based on the gun sound I almost go beyond 0.200 to react, I think this is because sound travels slower to reach my ears than light to reach my eyes that's why the difference.

[@arasanhu7993]

really weird, for me was exactly the opposite, when closing my eyes I started eventually to get some reaction times below the 150, with my eyes open I was getting an average of like 186

It would not have any difference because like your very close to the screen and speaker so the difference would be very small?

[@ferrari458960]

That's a difference of 0.030 seconds. Sound is about 0.030 seconds slower than light at a distance of 10 meters. I don't think you were 10 meters away from the screen. At a distance of 30cm, sound is only about 0.001 seconds slower than light. So that can't be the reason here.

Yep, good catch, dropped the ball on that one and didn't even notice until after it was posted. Apologies to Zharnel (he is in lane 5). As a side note Tebogo was the second fastest with a .129.

[@davidcostacampos6039]

Thats nice and all but you can't compare the click of a mouse to a reaction start. Noah: 1- Just had to literally move to consider a start Clicking to stop de video: 1- Clicking the mouse or space bar which implies pushing the button all the way through 2- Send the input to the machine 3- The input will be processed and act upon based on the internet velocity So its literally impossible for someone to react faster on pausing the video with a click of a button than Noah react start. Not even Noah himself cliking on the mouse/space bar lol

[@Luis110]

the blocks have sensors that measure the applied forces. your statement is wrong and it works like this: 0- Reacting to the gun 1- Initiiating movement by actively pushing against the block pads (force applied must exceed a certain amount to be registered) 2- Send the input to the machine 3- The input will be processed furthermore the video sequence you are watching has already been loaded and can be pause client sided - without any internet connection at all

[@Lscott-fk2sn]

@@Luis110 still though, assuming youre on a typical device there will be 1: 16.7ms delay as the framerate is probably capped at 60, additional input delay on many devices (touch screens aren't known for their speed, laptop keyboards usually have a 20-100ms delay, a basic office mouse will have a 10 ms delay), safe to say thats another 20ms delay on most devices, so right there you have roughly 37ms delay added. as for other issues, a keyboard or mouse doesnt send a signal upon contact but rather upon release, the fastest people in the world can microtap under 5ms, but that is an additional delay, most people will hold for over 20ms though. In favourable conditions, the delay will be around 10-15ms (which is already far slower than systems used to detect sprinters (delay of around 1ms) (if you have a gaming setup etc) in bad conditions delay could be 150ms.

[@OutperformOfficial]

Great points, @Luis110! Device latency indeed plays a significant role in reaction times, especially in settings not optimized like professional setups. You're right that the frame rate is capped at 60. We did a lot of testing and settled on a ~28ms delay from the gun sound to the timer starting, definitely not perfect, just a fun way to try and get a sense of reaction times.

[@Ariskot007]

Measuring this using 60fps video and computer/phone with unknown lags is less than ideal, to put it mildly :-)

[@OutperformOfficial]

Yes, we would have loved to use 120fps or higher, but we did our best to share this idea with the technical challenges. Unfortunately, 60fps is the maximum allowed on KZbin and no way to account for all the different lag times. It's a fun way to give folks an idea of sprinting reaction times, and we hope you enjoy it despite the limitations!

[@Ariskot007]

@@OutperformOfficial Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it. Yes, even with all of these limitations it is a fun exercise. Just the real comparison is difficult in this enviroment. I think we are on the same page about this fact:-) I remember trying visual reaction test (humanbenchmark web) on my PC and laptop and the consistent difference was around +60ms on the laptop vs. my gaming rig with 240Hz LCD etc. I must also say that I like the sound stimulus much more than the visual one.

Hello sir I share to my idea about this video When i trying this reaction sound with tap of finger in shorts video my timing around 0.120 to 0.175 rt When i tap finger on this screen on normal mode video my actual reation around 0.130 to 0.180 second but finger and screen pause time almost 0.100 second plus means 0.230 to 0.300 in pause mode Even i trying my rt average in leg 🦵 0.150 to 0.190 second Is my reaction good or bad ?

[@OutperformOfficial]

Your leg reaction times are quite good. They indicate a strong ability to respond to stimuli, which is beneficial in various sports, particularly in sprinting.. The additional time you noted when interacting with a screen can be attributed to the mechanical latency of the device (the time it takes for the screen to register a touch), which is not a reflection of your physical reaction speed but rather the technology's response time. Overall, your reaction times are competitive. Keep working at it and they'll get even faster.

[@Pines_Peaches]

After a couple of tries my reaction time seem to get better.Could be cause I knew what time the gun was going to set off .Also seems switching between pressing spacebar ,and to the key letter k seem to help me improve.

[@OutperformOfficial]

Nice, it could also be because you improved. The brain and nervous system is highly trainable with reaction time.

POV: you get disqualified for being fast

[@danielleevers1511]

just curious. why is it a false start if you are too quick. fair enough that yit's not humanly possible but if you've gone after the gun then surely it's still legal?

[@eyoas577]

cuz then the officials wouldn't know if it was because of impecabble timing or false started. You can gamble when to start and if you're lucky you'll be just after the shot but that's not humanly possible if you don't gamble

[@OutperformOfficial]

The rules are based on the idea that it takes ~.1 second for the sound of the gun to reach your ear so if you leave before that you anticipated the gun and went to early.

[@geonwilliams]

@@OutperformOfficial I wish this wasn't the rule tbh. I feel like any start after the gun is fair game, and the current rule of zero tolerance on false starts is enough to deter people from gambling. Or at least they should reduce the margin to something much further from the possible like 0.05s. Views?

I kept getting the same 2 numbers over and over. I think it was 0.235 and 0.151. Eventually I got a 0.118 and that's the best I've got so far. Edit: I just got a 0.101 lol. Based on this, it's hard for me to think that athletes purely JUST wait until they hear the gun before they start moving. I think it's more likely they predict when the gun's going to go, then start moving at about that time. Usually it's good enough, but sometimes they're wrong. The athletes should have 2 chances (the whole field, not each athlete) to react to reduce DQ's. Idk why they changed it to the way it is now.
