Age of the subjects were ranged from 12-24 years. All subjects were equally divided into two groups namely adolescents and young adults. Reaction time and kinesthetic perception were considered as the parameters of this study and these were measured by Nelson hand and foot reaction test and Depth perception jump test respectively. In statistical procedure, mean and Standard Deviation were used as descriptive statistics and to analyse the significant difference statistical ‘t’- test was applied. There was a significant difference found in Hand reaction time and Kinesthetic perception. Difference also found in Foot reaction time though it was not statistically significant.
