SRT = simple response time test; CRT = complex response time test; L = left side; R = right side; M = middle; ms = milliseconds; Norm. = values normalized to arm span; SD = standard deviation; 95%CI = 95% confidence interval, BMI = body mass index; AG = agility-saturated sports; NAG = not involved in agility-saturated sports; t = values of the Student’s t-test for independent samples; p = statistical significance (p value): d = effect size; AUC = area under the curve.
