Observing the statistics of the results of sports achievements at the Olympiads, scientists come to the conclusion that it is more and more difficult to set a new record every year, because humanity is just approaching the "border" of its capabilities. Again, on the other hand, the isoteric teaching says that a person's capabilities are limited only by his mind. Does this mean that you need to pump brains, not muscles? And how can your brain help you develop an improved response? Let's try to figure it out.
Instructions
Step 1
It is so arranged by nature that the human body is a single organism, where one cannot exist without the other. For example, consider the question raised on how to improve response.
Step 2
The reaction, as you know from the course of biology and anatomy for the eighth grade, is the speed of transmission of a signal from the brain along the nerves to muscle nodes with an order to contract. Indeed, if a stone is thrown at a person, he will try to dodge, and will not stand and look at the flying stone with the expression on the face of a knocked down intellectual. The time it takes for the signal to travel from the brain to the muscles and initiate action is the reaction time. The shorter this time, the more chances you have to remain alive and unharmed.
Step 3
Therefore, it can be inferred that the human response depends on both the brain and the muscles. But let's go in order. Let's start with the brain. After all, it is this organ that gives the signal that it is necessary to dodge the flying stone. The visual part of the brain and the eyes themselves play an important role in this matter. An instant assessment of the situation occurs, after which the brain sends a signal. It is also important to take into account the fact that the eye has a so-called "blind spot", upon hitting which the same thrown stone will simply disappear from the field of vision for a few moments and the brain may not have time to give instructions to the muscles to evade.
Step 4
Therefore, it is worth doing brain training. To do this, there is a simple exercise that actors use very often. Two people stand opposite each other. One makes various movements. The second task is to repeat everything exactly. Over time, the rate of change of movements increases. This makes the brain work more actively and give orders to the muscles on the fly.
Step 5
The brain is more or less sorted out. Now let's move on directly to the muscles themselves. The more trained they are, the faster they will react to the command of the brain, the faster they will contract, and the evasion will be much easier and faster. For a simulator, which is something like a punching bag, but, on top of that, there are many lights on this unit that light up at intervals of half a second in different areas. The challenge is to hit every light bulb that lights up.
Step 6
Performing these two exercises, you can quickly bring your reaction to a new level, and very often it will seem that time has covered up its course. Quite an unforgettable experience. I recommend trying it out.
