Aims. To present an innovative method of measuring speed, respectively reaction time and execution time. The method used is based on a specially designed device, which uses the facilities of an electromyograph capable of recording synchronously, with high precision, a multitude of information channels, presented in the form of variations in electrical voltage. The measurements and settings of the device used were made specifically for basic karate techniques. The tested subjects belong to the national karate group, the measurements taking place at the National Research Institute for Sports in Bucharest. The results include accurate measurements of the times of the stages in which the total time is divided, with emphasis on the two forms of manifestation of speed. The research conclusions confirm the efficiency of the device and the methods used, in order to measure the reaction time and the execution time.
