However, I strongly suggest looking into a six-sided bouncing ball for your drills. These bounce higher than tennis balls.

This gets your blood pumping and directly affects the amount of oxygen your brain is getting. As a result, you’ll feel more alert. Your reaction times will see a boost as well. Though, this boost will only be temporary. Hernández OH, et al. (2007). Alcohol impairs the cognitive component of reaction time to an omitted stimulus: A replication and an extension.

Volume 43, Issue (1) pp. 258-268. Brain Spark is an arcade game that works both on concentration and reaction skills. It’s similar to the previous games where you need to tap on the correct color. You can add a twist to the color game by playing the reverse mode where you have to select the wrong color instead.Because sports require fast complex reaction times, the “average” is a bit different. The unique situation and the sport itself will determine what is average. If you want to feed your brain over the long-term, you can improve your diet and introduce several nutrients. Antioxidants are known to protect the brain. They have polyphenols, which may help to keep the brain safe from stress.

Some of the biggest athletes in the world have cognitive training included in their workout regime. Balkó, Š., Rous, M. Balkó, I. & Hnízdil, J.

Cognitive exercises aren’t the only way to train your reaction time. There is also a variety of physical exercises that can reduce the time it takes to respond to a signal. These exercises often combine responding to a stimulus as fast as possible with more traditional methods such as sprints, ladder runs, and plyometric training. If you want to challenge yourself even more, you can change the timing of each cue. Speaking of alcohol, it will always make your reaction time suffer. In fact, this is why so many drunk drivers survive accidents while their victims do not. Reactions are so slowed that they do not brace or tense for impact. Medications
