Reflex is the body’s response to a stimulus, and its speed depends on many factors such as age, level of physical activity, genetics, health, and others. Regardless of the cause, improving reflexes can help avoid danger and increase physical fitness. Below are a few exercises that can help improve reflexes.
The first three exercises require a reaction time trainer. The remaining 3 exercises do not require any exercise equipment.
Reaction to light: In this exercise, focus on reacting to a button that lights up. You can set the reaction timer to random button lighting mode – random mode or a specific pattern – memory mode. Then try to press the button as quickly as possible when it lights up.
Reaction to sound: Similar to the exercise with a reaction to a lit button, you can set the reaction time trainer to randomly select sounds. Try to react as quickly as possible when you hear the sound.
Reaction to visual and verbal stimuli: In this exercise, focus on reacting to two types of stimuli at once – visual and verbal. For example, the reaction timer may display a word that contains the number of the button, and then light up the button that needs to be pressed.
Tennis ball bouncing: This is one of the most popular exercises for improving reflexes. It involves bouncing a tennis ball between two people or bouncing it off a wall. The faster the ball is bounced, the more challenging the exercise becomes, allowing for improvement in the body’s reaction.
Running with obstacles: Running with obstacles can help improve reflexes and motor coordination. Various obstacles can be used, such as cones, boxes, and fences, to make running more demanding.
Auditory reaction exercises: This type of training involves playing sounds from different sources and then reacting to them as quickly as possible. Special applications or games can be used to help improve reaction to sound.

Before starting any physical exercise, it is worth consulting a doctor, as it can help avoid dangers and health problems. The doctor can conduct a preliminary assessment of your health status, ruling out any contraindications to exercise. A reaction time trainer does not require this type of examination.
There are various diseases and conditions that can affect your ability to perform physical exercise. Examples include heart disease, asthma, thyroid disease, diabetes, joint diseases, neurological disorders, and many others. In the case of these diseases or other health problems, some physical exercises can be dangerous or even harmful to health.
During a medical consultation, the doctor can perform physical examinations and ask about your medical history to exclude the risk of any complications related to the exercises you will be doing. They may also advise on which types of exercises are the safest and most effective in your particular case. The doctor may also conduct an EKG test to rule out any heart problems that may lead to serious consequences during physical exercise.
