These benefits can make a person's reaction time faster. The South Borneo Runners community has a regular jogging schedule but not all members follow the schedule. This study aims to determine whether there are differences in reaction times between South Borneo Runners members who jog regularly and irregularly. This research is an observational analytic study with cross-sectional approach. Samples were determined using a consecutive sampling technique and 41 subjects were obtained. Subjects were divided into 2 groups, the regular jogging group of 26 people and the irregular jogging group of 15 people. Measurement of reaction time using Kosinski's time reaction software. Data were analyzed using an unpaired t test and showed p = 0.202. It can be concluded that there is no difference in reaction times between South Borneo Runners members who jog regularly and irregularly. Keywords: reaction time, regular jogging, exercise. Abstrak: Olahraga teratur memiliki manfaat bagi tubuh seperti meningkatkan kesehatan, meningkatkan perhatian dan konsentrasi, memperbagus fungsi saraf, dan memperlancar aliran darah. Berbagai manfaat tersebut dapat membuat waktu reaksi seseorang semakin cepat. Komunitas South Borneo Runners memiliki jadwal olahraga joging yang teratur tetapi tidak semua anggotanya mengikuti jadwal tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat perbedaan waktu reaksi antara anggota South Borneo Runners yang joging teratur dan tidak teratur. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian observasional analitik dengan rancangan cross sectional. Sampel ditetapkan menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling dan didapatkan sebanyak 41 subjek penelitian. Subjek terbagi menjadi 2 kelompok, yaitu kelompok joging teratur sebanyak 26 orang dan kelompok joging tidak teratur sebanyak 15 orang. Pengukuran waktu reaksi menggunakan Kosinski’s time reaction software. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji t tidak berpasangan dan didapatkan nilai p=0,202. Jadi, dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan waktu reaksi antara anggota South Borneo Runners yang joging teratur dan tidak teratur. Kata-kata kunci: waktu reaksi, joging teratur, olahraga.]]>
