METHOD OF DETERMINING PREDISPOSITION OF ATHLETE TO PLAYING FOOTBALL Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B5/16 

FIELD: sports.

SUBSTANCE: athletes are tested using the device of psychophysiological testing UPFT-1/30 - "Psychophysiolog" assessing the complex visual-motor response by presenting a series of 75 light stimuli with a random distribution of green and red colors, the time of appearance of the next stimulus is a random value in the range of 2 to 5 seconds, counting from the time the response, followed by blanking of the indicator, for the green light stimuli the subject presses a button "Yes", for the red - "NO", the first 5 stimuli are training and are not involved in the calculation. The device measures the response time for each stimulus and the number of erroneous actions with definition of the parameters: the average response time, the level of stability of responses and the number of errors made. With an average response time of 341.00-397.00 ms, at 4-5 level of response stability, the number of errors made of 0.94-1.5 the athlete is recommend to play football.

EFFECT: method enables to evaluate quickly, accurately and objectively and to select athletes for playing football by determining sensory-motor qualities of the athletes.
