Reflex Training by Emily James

Reflex Training explores the science-backed methods to enhance reaction time, peripheral vision, and movement precision, skills vital in sports, fitness, and daily life. It emphasizes that improved reflexes aren't just innate; specific training drills can sharpen responses, boosting athletic performance and minimizing injury risk. The book details how sensory input translates to motor output, highlighting the neurological basis for these improvements. For example, athletes can significantly cut down response times through focused auditory and visual drills.

The book progresses logically, starting with the basic science of reflexes and the nervous system. It then transitions to practical applications, presenting drills for improving reaction time, expanding peripheral awareness, and refining movement accuracy. Divided into three key sections, the book covers reaction time, peripheral vision, and movement precision, culminating in integrated training programs tailored to various sports.

The approach is evidence-based, relying on scientific studies and kinesiological analyses to validate the presented drills.
