Complex RTs didn’t LANGUAGE: ENGLISH differ between groups. For professionals, a positive correlation was found between simple RT at the beginning of the NP-test and the total number of disputed (r=0.386, p=0.043) A portable device for assessing locomotor and won (r=0.400, p=0.035) bouts. A negative correlation (r=-0.468, p=0.012) performance was found between simple RT at the end of the NP-test and the total number of L’Hermette M1,2, Savatier X2,3, Tourny-Chollet C1,2, Dujardin F2 bouts lost due to head blows. Conclusions: Professional boxers show a longer simple RT in respect to de- 1 2 CETAPS, EA 3832, University of Rouen, Rouen, France.

A possible explanation may be found in a kind of adaptation of skilled ESIGELEC, Rouen, France boxers to better (and longer) evaluate external stimuli before giving a simple motor response. We investigated the validity of a new portable system and the feasibility of the method for gait analysis as the assessment of gait has clinical relevance in the Key words: Head concussion.
