Table 2. Average upper body reaction times were measured using the Dynavision D2 Visuomotor Training Device at baseline (prior to supplement ingestion) and at each hour following ingestion of the supplement for a total of 8 hours. Visual reaction time was measured as the amount of time it takes to identify the stimulus (light) and initiate a reaction by taking their hand off the home button. Motor response time was measured as the amount of time it takes to physically touch the stimulus (light) with their hand following the initial visual reaction and was measured as the amount of time between the hand leaving the home button and touching the stimulus (light). Physical reaction time is a measurement of the total elapsed time from the introduction of the target stimulus (light) to the physical completion of the task (returning to the home button after touching the stimulus). Data are means (±SD).
