目的:本研究以選擇反應時間的測驗方式來模擬比賽現況，以探討不同起跑技術對慢速壘球(slow-pitch)壘閒跑壘時間之影響，並探尋最適用的起跑技術，作為國內體育教師與教練指導學生之參考。方法:參與者為40名年齡20-22歲大專男生，經8週的教學與訓練後，以狄肯氏運動能力分析儀組合一組紅、綠號誌燈，並連接計時停止器，來計測動力起跑、短跑站立、交叉步與切步等四種不同起跑動作之整體反應時間。所得資料以重建量數單因子變異數分析法考驗。結果:四種起跑法在時間上有顯著差異(p<.01) ，經事後比較發現，動力起跑法最慢(p<.05) ，短跑站立、交叉步與切步起跑法三者則無顯著差異。以重複量數單因子變異數分析考驗各種起跑方法三次聞之信度，所得之F(2，78)值為0.08-1.41(p> .05) ，皆未達顯著差異，顯示本實驗在施測過程及使用之儀器均無偏向o結論:以選擇反應時間按測慢壘壘問起跑技術，顯示動力起跑法為最慢，而短跑站立、交叉步與切步起跑法三者閉在時間上並無差異。

Purpose: This study was employed choice reaction time to compare four starting techniques included cross-over step， jab-step， standing sprinter's start， and the momentum start to determine the fastest start technique for optimum speed in base running in slow pitch softball. Methods: The participants were 40 male college students who had been practiced these start techniques for 8 weeks. Total response time was recorded to the nearest 1/100 second using a Dekan Automatic Performance Analyzer arranged with two starting lights and a stop gate. Results: A one way repeated measures ANOVA indicated that there were significant different among four starting techniques (p< .0 1). After post hoc tests， the momentum start was significantly (p< .05) slower than the other starts compared while there were no significant differences among the other starts. F -value ranging from 0.08 to 1.41 (p> .05)， obtained using the one way repeated measures ANOVA tests for multiple trial data， signified no trends among trials and high reliability of the testing procedures and equipment. Conclusions: The results suggested that the momentum start was the slowest among the four starts. There were no differences between the cross-over step， jab-step， and the standing sprinter's start techniques for speed in slow pitch softball bases running.
