How To Improve Reaction Times for Motorsport

by Robin on February 12, 2010

Quick reaction times are an essential part of being a great driver.

Being the quickest on the grid to react can get you the best start
or out of a sticky situation.

So how do you improve your reaction times?
Testing reaction times
Exercise One:

An excellent and fun way to improve your reaction times
is with the use of a Z-Ball.
This ball bounces in random and unpredictable way and
is loads of fun when played with a partner or in a group.

You can get a Z-Ball from Amazon.

Exercise Two:

Racquet sports such as squash and table tennis are also
fantastic ways to improve your reaction times as well as
hone your hand-eye co-ordination. The quick response
required makes this fantastic.
For an added element of difficulty and to integrate your
brain into the exercise try this:

Each time you hit the ball you must call out the make of
a car. For example:

hit 1: “BMW”
hit 2: “Toyota”
hit 3: “Ferrari”
hit 4: “Cadillac”

With this exercise you are being forced to think and act at the
same time. You must see how long you can go with this.
Fantastic training!

If using car makes is too easy you can list anything, for example
world cuisines, people’s names, countries.

Leave your comments below and let me know how you get on.

Keep Racing!
