Reaction Time in Sports Making the right decision
quickly can mean the difference between success and failure on the
playing field or court. We've all seen players hesitate - quarterbacks
backpeddling with the ball, baseball players unsure of what base to
throw to, basketball players trapped in the backcourt, unable to make
an outlet pass or anticipate the moves of teammates. Furthermore,
reaction time is critical in high-speed situations such as the serve in
tennis and batting in baseball.
Science tells us that reaction time - choice reaction time - is one of the key governing measures that separates the highly successful from the simply adequate, even with comparable levels of raw athletic ability. By improving choice reaction time - quickly selecting the best option from several available alternatives, skill players can improve their performance and advance to higher levels of competition. With Sportsbrain, Cognitive Labs makes available for the first time the secrets of neuropsychiatrists, coaches and performance experts in powerful, yet easy to use web applications. Sportsbrain has already been used by professionals - among them Major League Baseball's Shawn Green of the Arizona Diamondbacks and formerly of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
