Introduction. Coordinative abilities (dexterity) rely on the movement control and regulation processes: they are of crucial importance in many sports, as they allow athletes to easily control their motor actions. Objectives. The aim of this paper was to determine if there is a correlation between the reaction time and the coordination coefficient for basketball players. Materials and Methods. The participants in this study were female basketball players (N = 9), aged from 16 to 17 years that underwent two measurements: the jumping reaction time test and the coordination coefficient test (EVC) using the MGM-15 carpet. Results. There was a positive correlation between the jumping reaction time and EVC, r = 0.996, n = 9, p = 0.000. Conclusion. The reaction time and the coordination coefficient showed a strong correlation.

Keywords: basketball, reaction time, coordination, jumping
