With the recent worldwide increase in ski helmet use, new market trends are developing, including audio helmets for listening to music while skiing or snowboarding. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether listening to music with an audio ski helmet impairs reaction time to peripheral stimuli. A within-subjects design study using the Compensatory-Tracking-Test was performed on 65 subjects (36 males and 29 females) who had a mean age of 23.3 ± 3.9 years. Using repeated measures analysis of variance, we found significant differences in reaction times between the 4 test conditions (p=0.039). The lowest mean reaction time (± SE) was measured for helmet use while listening to music (507.9 ± 13.2 ms), which was not different from helmet use alone (514.6 ± 12.5 ms) (p=0.528). However, compared to helmet use while listening to music, reaction time was significantly longer for helmet and ski goggles used together (535.8 ± 14.2 ms, p=0.005), with a similar trend for helmet and ski goggles used together while listening to music (526.9 ± 13.8 ms) (p=0.094). In conclusion, listening to music with an audio ski helmet did not increase mean reaction time to peripheral stimuli in a laboratory setting.
随着全球范围内滑雪头盔使用的增加，新的市场趋势正在发展，包括音频头盔，用于在滑雪或单板滑雪时听音乐。本研究旨在评估戴音频滑雪头盔听音乐是否会影响对外周刺激的反应时间。使用补偿跟踪测试，对 65 名受试者（36 名男性和 29 名女性）进行了一项单因素设计研究，他们的平均年龄为 23.3±3.9 岁。通过重复测量方差分析，我们发现 4 种测试条件下的反应时间存在显著差异（p=0.039）。使用音乐的头盔反应时间最短（平均值±SE 为 507.9±13.2 ms），与单独使用头盔时无差异（514.6±12.5 ms）（p=0.528）。然而，与使用音乐的头盔相比，头盔和滑雪护目镜一起使用时的反应时间明显更长（535.8±14.2 ms，p=0.005），同时使用头盔和滑雪护目镜听音乐时也有类似的趋势（526.9±13.8 ms）（p=0.094）。总之，在实验室环境中，戴音频滑雪头盔听音乐不会增加对外周刺激的平均反应时间。
